Abstract
A system for the recovery of titanium, titanium alloys, zirconium and zirconium alloys is disclosed. The system is fed with a mixture of chips including titanium chips, titanium alloy chips, zirconium chips and zirconium alloy chips, ferromagnetic chips and electrically conductive non-ferromagnetic chips. The system has at least one magnetic separator, a drying device and an Eddy current separator.
Claims5
A system for recovery of titanium, titanium alloys, zirconium or zirconium alloys, wherein the system is fed with a mixture of chips, the mixture of chips being titanium chips, titanium alloy chips, zirconium chips, zirconium alloy chips, ferromagnetic chips or electrically conductive non-ferromagnetic chips, the system comprising:
- at least one magnetic separator adapted to extract the ferromagnetic chips from the mixture of chips;
- a drying device adapted to extract a liquid from the mixture of chips;
- and
- an Eddy current separator adapted to extract electrically conductive non-ferromagnetic chips from the mixture of chips, said at least one magnetic separator comprising:
- a first magnetic separator disposed upstream of said drying device;
- and
- a second magnetic separator disposed downstream of said Eddy current separator.
