Processing of secondary raw materials

 

Learning objectives:

• Application of basic operations of mechanical processing and raw material characterization
• Appropriate selection of processes and units for various tasks in waste treatment and recycling
• Appropriate selection of valuation methods
• Ability to balance and evaluate individual processes
• Organization of laboratory tests
• Training of documentation of work

 

Content:

Independent application of the provided content of "solid waste processing" as part of an internship. For example basic operations of processing:

• Crushing/comminution processes and machines
• Classification and screening machines
• Dry sorting by density, shape, magnetic and electrical susceptibility
• Optical sorting methods

Presentation and evaluation of test results:

• Evaluation of the results of crushing/comminution processes
• Quantification of the separation success of sorting processes, for example on the basis of particle distribution curves, substance analysis

Independent planning of experiments for given goals.
