Recycling of Compounds  (Page 1)

Compound materials are commonly utilized in domestic and industrial sectors of our society. Recyclable compound materials such as bottle caps and circuit boards are abundant and will contribute significantly to the total volume of solid wastes if they are not recycled.  Most of today’s compound separation processes use chemical or thermal processes that are expensive and detrimental to the environment.  Consequently, most of compound materials are dumped or burned instead of recycled.  After some research, we found that there is this technology called “The Result Technology” process that provides the necessary separation of the various compound materials into their individual components without the problems of the thermal or chemical processes. Result Technology AG proclaims this technology to be an “environmental-friendly, dry, and mechanical process”, and it allows “ the recovery of metals, plastics and minerals at putiry levels previously unachievable.” This so-called “Result Process” has three stages (extracted directly from Result Technology AG – Process) while the entire recycling process encompasses the four stages: Stage One: Recyclable compound materials are shredded and then passed into a centrifugal accelerator. Stage Two: Inside the accelerator, the centrifugal force separates the compound material into its individual material elements according to the physical properties so that the compound material is disintegrated into its constituent parts. Stage Three: After the disintegration of the individual elements, the materials are separated into the individual components.  At the end of this stage, metals are reformed into sintered pellets while plastic stay in the same form at the beginning of the process.  Stage Four: (Since the “Result Process” is really a sorting process, it is only appropriate to add in this stage to make this a complete recycling process).  In this stage, the sorted metals and plastics are send/sold to respective facilities to undergo further treatment.  Steps that specific facilities take to recycle the metals or plastics are all considered the sub-stages of this Stage Four. *An ANIMATED SCHEME of the process is available from Result Technology AG.
