SEPARATION DEVICE AND SEPARATION METHOD

摘要

Provided are a separation device and a separation method with which plastic and aluminum can be separated. A separation device includes a separation unit. The separation unit includes a container and a scoop-up member. A processing target containing aluminum and one or more types of plastic is heated to a first temperature in the separation unit. The first temperature is a temperature that is less than the melting point of aluminum and is greater than or equal to the melting point of at least one type of plastic. The container accommodates the processing target heated to the first temperature. The scoop-up member has a hole portion allowing melted plastic to pass through, and separates aluminum and the melted plastic by scooping up the processing target accommodated in the container.

主权项

1. A separation device, comprising:
a first heating means for heating a processing target containing aluminum and one or more types of plastic to a first temperature, which is a temperature that is less than a melting point of the aluminum and is greater than or equal to a melting point of at least one type of the plastic, so as to melt the at least one type of the plastic; a first container that accommodates the processing target heated by the first heating means to the first temperature; and a first scoop-up member that has a hole portion allowing the plastic melted by the first heating means to pass through, and that separates the aluminum and the plastic melted by the first heating means by scooping up the processing target accommodated in the first container.
