Analysis of the possibilities for sourcing iron alloy raw materials with controlled chemical composition – challenges and potential

The recovery of metals and their alloys from waste and their reintroduction into the production cycle constitute a pressing environmental issue with significant economic potential. This study focuses on the feasibility of selectively sorting metals and alloys at the initial recovery stage. It evaluates recycling potential—categorized by alloy type—using established technological methods for recovering and sorting metallic raw materials, while also considering the RIPOK system's operational cycle. The research was conducted under both industrial and laboratory conditions, utilizing a testing protocol developed by Esystem P.U.H. The results validate the study's rationale and indicate that it is possible to identify between 85% and 90% of the waste materials.
