Description
All kinds of copper-containing scrap materials that can be applied to this process include copper-containing scrap cables and circuit board scraps. High-purity copper scrap is not suitable for this process; Scrap copper with a large content of mining slag and other impurities is not suitable for this process. Electricity is the driving energy, and the main water is circulating cooling supplementary water, and the wastewater is not discharged. Domestic water and greening water are not included in this data set. The exhaust gas generated by the production process is mainly particulate matter generated by the crushing process, which is discharged into the atmosphere after treatment. The solid waste generated in the production process is mainly tail plastic and waste resin, which has a certain recycling value, and is collected and sold out, and the waste resin is sorted into the water and handed over to the sanitation unit for landfill.
This dataset represents the treatment of copper-containing scrap cables and copper-containing circuit board scraps, with an average copper content of 73.35%
Activity Description
The dataset represents the process of producing recycled copper powder by mechanically processing and crushing copper-containing waste materials, followed by hydraulic separation. It includes data on energy inputs, atmospheric emissions, and solid waste generation associated with the recycled copper production process.
