Price swings, particularly in the PET and HDPE markets have contributed to a retrenchment in the U.S. plastics recycling industry in 1995—1997... 

Currently, almost all acetic acid produced commercially comes from acetaldehyde oxidation, methanol or methyl acetate carbonylation, or light hydrocarbon Hquid-phase oxidation. Comparatively small amounts are generated by butane Hquid-phase oxidation, direct ethanol oxidation, and synthesis gas. Large amounts of acetic acid are recycled industrially in the production of cellulose acetate, poly(vinyl alcohol), and aspirin and in a broad array of other... 

Because about 80% of the lead consumed in the United States is for use in lead—acid batteries, most recycled lead derives from this source of scrap. More than 95% of the lead is reclaimed. Hence, the bulk of the recycling industry is centered on the processing of lead battery scrap. 

The minerals processing industry has made contributions to all areas of technology, both in terms of products and processing. Technologies developed in the mineral industry are used extensively in the chemicals industry as well as in municipal and industrial waste treatment and recycling industry, eg, scrap recycling, processing of domestic refuse, automobiles, electronic scrap, battery scrap, and decontamination of soils.

Because most plastic bottles are recycled, it is necessary to separate the label and adhesive from the bottle. The label is contaminated with ink and not recyclable. The adhesive is also not recycled. Ideally the adhesive will stick tenaciously to the film, but release cleanly from the bottle during the recycling operation. Adhesives designed to aid in recycling have been developed for this market. They incorporate conventional surfactants in place of some or all of the oil in PSA compositions [69] or use ingredients such as rosin which when neutralized by base can function as surfactants. A goal of the recycling industry is to eliminate the need to use base in the process.

The best exanple of this problem is the cell house operations. Similar copper cell houses of much greater size can be found in every major copper or zinc refinery in the world. The technical challenge far REOCNTEK was to reduce the scale of that technology to the appropriate size for the waste recycling industry without major losses in electrical or manpower efficiencies. 

In the latter twentieth century, spent automotive catalysts have emeiged as a significant potential source of secondary Pt, Pd, and Rh. In North America, it has been estimated that 15.5 metric tons per year of PGM from automotive catalysts are available for recycling (22). However, the low PGM loading on such catalysts and the nature of the ceramic monoliths used have required the development of specialized recovery techniques as well as the establishment of an infrastructure of collection centers. These factors have slowed the development of an automotive catalyst recycling industry. 

Because recycling plastic takes many forms, the plastic recycling industry is not as large as some other forms of recycling, but it is growing. There are six times more companies handling recycled plastics today than there were 20 years ago, and the market demand for recycled materials continues to grow.16...

The Sorticanter has a scroll with reversing pitch on one side, which skims a floating solids layer off the top of the carrier hquid, usually an aqueous brine of intermediate density. Sinking solids are scrolled out similarly to normal decanter centrifuges, and liquid is discharged under pressure via a stationary but variable impeller. The Sorticanter is utihzed in the plastics recycling industry. 

C. Visvanathan (Asian Institute of Technology in Klongluang Pathumthani, Thailand), who contributed the chapter on Industrial Waste Auditing, writes, As new opportunities to reuse and recycle industrial waste are explored, complete prohling of waste is essential. The lirst step to exploring such an opportunity is to undertake comprehensive waste auditing. This chapter discusses industrial waste audit techniques in an easy, simple, step-by-step approach that can even be understood by those who are new to the subject."...
