AKSA Process Engineering conducted an on-site inspection of a metal recycling line installed at a facility in Germany. The system, comprising 8 Eddy Current Separators and 2 Stainless Steel Separators, was evaluated under real operating conditions. Separation quality, process stability, and operational continuity were verified, confirming that the line delivers high efficiency, reliable performance, and sustainable metal recovery.

Magnetic separation is a method used to separate materials based on their magnetic properties. It is commonly applied in the mining, recycling, ceramics, food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. It is particularly preferred for separating ferromagnetic minerals (such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, which exhibit strong magnetic properties) or paramagnetic minerals (which exhibit weak magnetic properties) from non-magnetic materials. Working Principle of Magnetic Separation

In the aggregate, mining, and minerals industries, permanent magnetic or electromagnetic overband magnetic equipment is used to protect crushers, screens, and conveyors from damage caused by unwanted ferrous metal. However, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for every operation. There are various permanent and electromagnetic overband magnetic separator models designed for specific applications. To select the appropriate magnet, a detailed understanding of the installatio

In our previous two blog posts, we introduced the problems caused by magnetic minerals in ceramic production and examined in detail the five different magnetic properties that minerals may exhibit. In this blog, we will discuss the consequences of magnetic particle contamination in ceramics when magnetic separation is not used. Consequences of Magnetic Particle Contamination in Ceramic Minerals Magnetic particles may exist in mineral form, or as free iron particles present in

Aksa Magnet – Magnetic Separation In our previous blog post, we provided a general introduction to magnetic minerals used in the ceramic industry and discussed the problems these minerals may cause in ceramic applications when magnetic separation is not applied. In this article, we will examine in more detail the different magnetic properties that minerals may exhibit. Magnetic Properties of Ceramic Minerals Source of Magnetic Properties The factor that determines whether a m

1. Introduction According to data from the World Steel Association, crude steel production has increased more than threefold, rising from 595 million tons in 1970 to 1,952 million tons in 2021. While a significant portion of this production is carried out by China, global steel production is expected to grow annually by 1–2% in the future. In 2019, of the 1,875.3 million tons of crude steel produced worldwide, 70.8% was produced in blast furnaces and 5.9% through direct reduc

Today, the AKSA Process team visited an Energy-from-Waste (EFW) facility in the United Kingdom to conduct an on-site technical review of the plant’s key operational stages. During the visit, we examined the waste reception line, combustion process, bottom-ash metal recovery systems, and the overall energy-generation flow. Together with the plant’s engineering team, we evaluated the current separation performance, metal-recovery efficiency, and maintenance-operations constrain
