ALUMINIUM ALLOY SEPARATION BY OPTICAL DISPLAY
ALUMINIUM IS A CIRCULAR MATERIAL THAT CAN BE RECYCLED INDEFINITELY with significant energy savings; but the secondary alloys obtained through the recycling process are used for smelting processes that lead to a loss of value of the critical metals included in aluminium alloys. This downcycling is not usually considered in Life Cycle Assessment studies, and affects the metallic fraction composed of aluminium obtained in the treatment of waste materials from End-of-Life Vehicles (ELV) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
REFIAL is an aluminium refinery dedicated to the supply of second smelting aluminium, and is part of the OTUA GROUP. At visuAL, REFIAL has collaborated with INATEC, one of the Group’s R&D unit.
