METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SEPARATING ALUMINUM AND MAGNESIUM FROM ASR ZORBA

摘要

Processing automobile shredder residue (ASR) zorba to separate aluminum and magnesium from the other non-ferrous metals. The system and method employs a destoner to separate the magnesium and aluminum from other non-ferrous metals in the ASR zorba. The resulting magnesium and aluminum product may be further processed by a destoner to separate the aluminum from the magnesium. The ASR zorba may be segregated by size prior to processing in the destoner.
