Although the aluminum mass in WPBs is less than typical aluminum packaging products such as beverage cans, establishing a feasible recycling procedure is possible by separating the fractions to recover both metal and plastic. Hydrometallurgical methods are mostly preferred for the separation of aluminum and plastic in multi-layered structures. This work reports the characterization of Al-rich WPBs and the separation behavior of aluminum and plastic layers. The effects of hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, formic acid, sulfuric acid, ethanol, acetone, and organic solvent (benzene–ethanol–water) on the separation behavior of layers were studied at different temperatures. Furthermore, the recycling yield of the aluminum fraction was experimentally assessed. © 2023, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 11Use of Clinoptilolite in Ethanol Dehydration(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 1996) Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Ülkü, SemraClinoptilolite-type natural zeolite, which exists in various regions of Turkey, has been experimentally studied. For the ethanol-water-local clinoptilolite system, uptake and breakthrough curves were determined under a nitrogen gas atmosphere. In adsorption kinetics and adsorption equilibrium studies, the effects of particle size, temperature and, amount of zeolite on the uptake rate have been investigated. The breakthrough curves for four different flow rates of ethanol and three different bed heights were determined in dynamic column studies. The results of the experiments show that intraparticle diffusion is the main resistance. The local clinoptilolite is a promising adsorbent for water adsorption from aqueous ethanol.
