Prospects of induction sorting of automotive SCRAP

Recovery and recycling of metals from wastes have a major role in the economy because of the scarcity of raw materials and the problem of environmental pollution. In this article the necessity of using electrodynamics (eddy current) separators for extraction of non-ferrous metals from crushed automotive scrap and sorting of non-ferrous metals by types and grades of alloys is shown. The results of studies of an experimental separator based on a three-phase linear inductor are presented
