CRYOGENIC RECYCLING AND PROCESSING.

Author(s) : BRATON N. R.

Summary

THE USE OF CRYOGENICS FOR THE RECYCLING OF CERTAIN SOLID WASTE MATERIALS APPEARS TO BE A RELATIVELY NEW SOLUTION TO AN AGE OLD PROBLEM. THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF THE CRYOGENIC PROCESS IS TO EMBRITTLE THE MATERIAL BY SIMPLE COOLING. FOR MANY APPLICATIONS ONLY PORTIONS OF ITEMS EMBRITTLE ALLOWING FRACTURE TO EASILY OCCUR IN THESE REGIONS. SIMPLE PHYSICAL SEPARATION OF THE MATERIALS CAN THEN BE EASILY ACCOMPLISHED. THIS CAN BE AN IMPORTANT APPLICATION FOR SUCH SYSTEMS AS THE AUTOMOBILE / TRUCK TIRE, LAMINATES, CABLES, AND OTHER COMPOSITES.
