Abstract
There is an increasing use of aluminum in automobiles for weight reduction and decreased energy consumption. Recycled aluminum can be utilized in automotive castings with savings in both dollars and energy. The technology for the recovery of aluminum from auto scrap is analogous to the recovery of solid waste and the present and developing unit operations are reviewed and an aluminum recovery demonstration laboratory is described.
