Recycling of Aluminum Products

Abstract

In this paper the intelligence of Aluminum (Al) is considered with an experiment of Al recycling from used beverage cans, caps and foils. In the recycling of Al of used beverage cans, several processes can be considered. Using a new Al retrieving process, not only the enlarged yield rate, but also metal Al with lower impurity could be obtained. This may result in a decreased environmental impact, such as CO₂ emission, where the material may be defined as more intelligent from the environmental point of view.
