Automobile shredded residue valorisation by hydrometallurgical metal recovery

Pollution control and metal resource recovery for low grade automobile shredder residue: A mechanism, bioavailability and risk assessment

“…The highest volatile content in fraction D resulted in the lowest ash content. Results of metal characterization showed clearly that Fe was the most abundant metal, followed by Mn in all size fractions, consistent with the findings of Granata et al (2011). The analysis results of total metal content showed that all selected heavy metals were mainly contained in the smallest grain fraction as compared to other larger fractions.…”

“…The bioavailable fractions of the metals may be potential contaminants of the food chain, surface water, and groundwater (Singh and Kalamdhad, 2013b). Few studies are available on the recovery of heavy metals from ASR (Kurose et al, 2006;Gonazalez-Fernandez et al, 2008;Granata et al, 2011), but the recovery and kinetic study of heavy metals (Mn, Fe, Ni, Cr) from the ASR has not been reported before. Thus, the objectives of the present study were to assess the recovery of heavy metals from ASR using water, to examine the governing reaction kinetics during the recovery, and to reduce the bioavailability and toxicity of ASR.…”

Feasibility Study of Sensor Aided Impact Acoustic Sorting of Plastic Materials from End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs)

“…The Economic Cooperation and Development organization (OECD) has projected that the growth of vehicles could achieve 32% from 1997 to 2020 [1][2][3][4]. China has occupied the first position of global automobile production and sale since 2009, and worldwide in this year more than 13.6 million vehicles were produced and sold; meanwhile 2.7 million ELVs were abandoned.…”

“…ASR contains moisture, ferrous and nonferrous metals, plastics, rubber, mineral materials like glass, dust, foam materials, fibers, woody materials, textiles etc. Due to the high heterogeneity and complex composition ASRs are classified as Hazardous Material and the EU generates about 2-3 Mt ASRs annually [1][2][3][4][7][8][9].…”

Cryogenic ball milling: A key for elemental analysis of plastic-rich automotive shedder residue

“…As well as metal recovery by hydrometallurgy [15] and microwave pyrolysis [16,17], recent projects are focusing on innovative processes for plastic fraction valorisation. These include injection into blast and electric-arc furnaces as a reducing agent [5,6,18], upgrading to fuel by oil and gas recovery and refining [17,19,20], and incorporation into thermoplastic mouldings [21].…”
