Training Requirements For Running An ALS2 Separation LineOperating an ALS2 separation line requires more than familiarity with recycling machinery. Personnel must understand how electronic waste is prepared, how the…
How ALS2 processes gold-flashed copper wire from automotive harnessesAutomotive harnesses contain large volumes of copper wire, polymer insulation, connector components, and small quantities of valuable metals. In selected…
How ALS2 Keeps Printed Circuit Boards Out Of LandfillPrinted circuit boards (PCBs) are small, complex components with a surprisingly high material value. Found in computers, phones, household appliances,…
Recovering silver from end-of-life photovoltaic panels with ALS2Photovoltaic panels are built to generate clean electricity, yet every module eventually reaches the end of its useful life. Ageing, damage, repowering…
Energy use per gram of gold: ALS2 and smelting comparedThe energy required to recover one gram of gold is a more useful sustainability measure than the energy consumed by a recycling plant as a whole. A facility…
Scaling ALS2 From Pilot Operation To Industrial RecoveryMoving from a pilot line to an industrial plant is a change in operating philosophy, not simply an increase in equipment size. For ALS2, the path toward…
How ALS2 Handles Mixed Precious Metal Alloys From Connector PinsConnector pins are small components, but they can contain several valuable and difficult-to-separate materials. A typical pin may combine a copper or…
Using ALS2 To Recover Precious Metals From Smart Card ChipsSmart cards are small, but their electronic modules can contain valuable metals in concentrated areas. Payment cards, SIM cards, access badges, identity…
ALS2 And Induction Melting: Energy Use At The Same OutputComparing ALS2 with induction melting requires more than placing two equipment ratings side by side. A melting furnace may be rated in kilowatts, while an…
Recovering Precious Metals From Mixed Jewellery AlloysOld jewellery is a valuable but complex urban mining resource. Gold items may contain silver, copper, zinc, nickel, solder, stones, coatings, and residues from…
