Aluminum Recycling for a Circular Economy
Innovation Podcast - by Simon Voss
Currently the Aluminium Recycling wave hit the world, leading to large amounts of scrap from now on. Not all of that is clearly sorted, all of them are somehow contaminated with plastic, unwanted metals or ceramics. Such there is a strong demand for suitable, economical viable and technical feasible refining options. Answers from research have to be given with respect to a large number of technical issues, such as
➡How universities like RWTH Aachen University act in this field
➡Which types of impurities are important to control
➡Are there already practises in industry in operation
➡What are the most promising technologies in future
➡Do we need multiple operations or is there a holistic process for all impurities
Prof. Friedrich of IME, RWTH Aachen University leads us through these topics. Let's Mobilize the Circular Future - together.
Thank you Prof. Friedrich for the discussion, as well as EUROPEAN ALUMINIUM for catalysing this podcast.
