COPPER GRANULE FROM COPPER SCRAP
[CODE NO.4412]
When you throw out any old cables, there are still a variety of useful materials, such as copper and lead, within them that can be recycled. To get to these metals the old cables go through a process called cable granulation.
Granulated Copper is a course granular solid with a cylindrical shape with slight metallic odour. The length ranges between 0.9 and 6.0 mm with a mean at 2.1 mm and the width ranges between 0.494 and 0.949 mm with a mean at 0.706 mm. Its melting point is 1059-1069°C. It is not required to test for vapour pressure as the melting point is above 300ºC. Solubility in water is pH dependent (acidic conditions). The solubilisation results of the oxido-reduction reaction of the copper metal into ionic copper. Cu(0) → Cu(I) → Cu (II). At low pH, these reactions are promoted. At pH 6.34-7.56 and at 20 °C the solubility is 1 mg/L.
Benefits of copper wire recycling
Copper is an extremely sought-after metal for recycling due to its efficiency and durability. It is one of the most profitable types of scrap metal and can easily be found in homes or businesses. From old, outdated appliances and electronics, to plumbing and auto parts, there are many places to find scrap copper quickly and easily. This extremely durable metal is often used for wires as it does not lose its electrical connectivity over time. Unfortunately, this means that it does not break down with regular waste, which doesn’t take advantage of its longevity and needlessly fills up landfills.
Copper can be recycled repeatedly for massive environmental and economic benefits. Copper retains its performance despite being recycled multiple times making it an economical metal for a range of industries. The process of recycling copper not only produces less carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases, but it requires less energy and effort than the costly process of extracting and refining raw, virgin iron. Using scrap metal to its full capacity by recovering copper and stripping the shielding from cables and wires, benefits businesses, the environment and you.
