Electrostatic separation of copper, aluminum and electrical insulating materials is a cost-effective technology for environmental protection, as it offers high-quality recycled plastic and better efficiency for metal coating than conventional electronic card processing methods. Nowadays, insulating-metal electro-separation represents a modern technology for recycling waste materials from industrial waste; it is considered to be the best option used for separating a mixture of metal-insulating granules.
The purpose of this study is to highlight the need to treat WEEE appropriately, as it often contains valuable materials such as non-ferrous metals, which can be recovered and recycled. By assessing the ability of this drum separator to effectively separate and recover these valuable materials, you are contributing to the development of sustainable solutions for the management of WEEE.
