This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will determine the technical feasibility for applying a new innovative sensing technology to rapidly identify and sort aluminum metals from other non-magnetic metals such as copper, zinc, nickel, and non-magnetic stainless steels commonly found in scrap metals, particularly metals derived from automobile shredder facilities. The objective will be to develop an environmentally friendly computerized dry process which can be situated locally and which can rapidly and cleanly sort aluminum scrap from mixtures of nonmagnetic metals at low cost. This technology will replace the large, costly, and environmentally burdensome heavy media process that is current used. The commercial applications for this technology will be sorting of aluminum from automobile shredders. This technology will significantly reduce the environmental impact of sending these materials to landfills. The materials recovered can be recycled and sold back to industry.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将确定应用一种新的创新传感技术的技术可行性，以快速识别和分类铝金属和其他非磁性金属，如铜、锌、镍和废金属中常见的非磁性不锈钢，特别是来自汽车碎纸机设备的金属。目标将是发展一种环境友好的计算机化干燥工艺，这种工艺可在当地进行，并能以低成本从非磁性金属混合物中迅速和清洁地分选铝废料。该技术将取代目前使用的大型、昂贵且对环境不利的重介质工艺。这项技术的商业应用将是对汽车碎纸机中的铝进行分类。这项技术将大大减少将这些材料送往垃圾填埋场对环境的影响。回收的材料可以循环利用并卖回工业。
