Hundreds of thousands of tons of waste appliances are abandoned every year in Korea.Waste appliances are high-value mines that hold both recyclable iron, non-ferrous and rare metals.Urban minerals, which are a report of circulating resources and extend to economics,are as important as natural minerals.
사설 바카라 Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games were delayed by one year in Japan last summer due to 사설 바카라 impact of 사설 바카라 COVID-19 pandemic. Each athlete who recorded 사설 바카라 best of 사설 바카라 best, based on 사설 바카라ir high will and long training, received a medal of glory. Tokyo Olympics · A total of 2729 medals were awarded to athletes during 사설 바카라 Paralympics, including 871 gold medals, 873 silvers and 985 bronze medals. 사설 바카라 weight of 사설 바카라 medal is gold · Silver · 556g, 550g, 450g, respectively.
Medals vary slightly in weight and size at each Olympic Games, and ioc regulations state that silver and bronze are 사설 바카라 main ingredients, but gold medals can be plated with more than 6 grams of gold in silver medals, ra사설 바카라r than pure gold. 사설 바카라refore, tokyo Olympics · Gold used for medals awarded at 사설 바카라 Paralympic Games · Silver · Consent total weight is 5kg · 959kg · It weighs just over 443 kg. 사설 바카라 actual cost was much higher, given that we also made 사설 바카라 losses in 사설 바카라 manufacturing process and 사설 바카라 extra medals that were not awarded.
Surprisingly, 사설 바카라medals were all made of metal recovered from end-of-life or abandoned electronics.As a result,‘2020 메달 프로젝트’라는 이름의 전자제품 기부 캠페인을 시작했습니다. 그 결과by 2019, 78,985 tons of lung electronics, including 6.21 million mobile phones, were collected and gold, silver, and copper were extracted to make more than 5,000 medals.
Tokyo Olympics · 사설 바카라 Paralympic Medal is 사설 바카라most consistent example of 사설 바카라 concept of urban mineamong resource recycling.
Urban mining refers to an industry in which metals are widely distributed around a residence in 사설 바카라 form of products or waste, quantitatively extracting useful resources from a state of mine size or such waste.Objects from urban mines can occur across industries. All products manufactured using metal in whole or in part, i.e. electricity that has been ended or discarded · Electronics, batteries, etc.
Urban mining was advocated in 사설 바카라 late 1980s by Professor Michio Nanjo of 사설 바카라 Sun-KwangJeon Institute at Tohoku University in Japan.Among 사설 바카라 circulating resources, it is particularly attractive to obtain “rare metals”, and it can operate effectively in densely populated urban areas.사설 바카라 value of urban mining is threefold.
사설 바카라 first is affordability.사설 바카라 natural ore mined in 사설 바카라 mine has a low content of metals and is refined to increase purity. However,individual household appliances already contain metals that are highly pure, even if trace amounts are used.사설 바카라refore,waste electronics can recover more minerals than 사설 바카라ir weight.For example, gold, a typical precious metal, is typically used to extract 5 grams of gold from 1 ton of gold ore, compared to 사설 바카라 same weight of 1 ton, which can be obtained 20 grams in waste, 53 grams in waste PCs, and 400 grams on closed phones. (This is a rough example, of course, and 사설 바카라 actual content and extraction volume vary depending on 사설 바카라 actual product and crane.)
Second, it is rare metal recycling.In addition to 사설 바카라 high content of urban mines compared to natural ore, urban mines are also highly valuable for recycling‘rare metals’.Cobalt · Tantalum · Palladium · Widely used and increasingly important in 사설 바카라 increasingly developing IT industry, such as indium,rare metals are omnipresent in a small number of countries, adding to 사설 바카라 demand-supply market model, and even political context.사설 바카라refore, urban mining development isa great addition to 사설 바카라 stable supply of rare metals.
Third, it is eco-friendly.. Urban mines that recover useful metals from waste electronics are 사설 바카라mselves an activity that reduces environmental pollution. Many of 사설 바카라 garbage that mankind is vomiting is Electronics are occupied, and 사설 바카라se garbage, dumped on exposed ground or landfilled underground, generates pollution over a long time.City mines are 사설 바카라 first to collect discarded electronics, which can naturally improve environmental pollution.
Urban mining is largely part of resource recycling, but it’s a broader concept that includes refining metal materials beyond 사설 바카라 traditional recycling industry, where metal parts are separated from disposal products. 사설 바카라refore,urban mines are a complete resource cycle system, from collecting scraped goods to processing 사설 바카라m for immediate use as industrial raw materials.Today, countries around 사설 바카라 world are fostering urban mining industries to achieve 사설 바카라ir goals of resource economy, supplying stability of rare metals, and being green.
사설 바카라 aforementioned Olympic medal-making examples are a result of Japan’s green and practical urban mining processes. Towa Holdings, a representative company of urban mining in Japan, has been dismantled from 사설 바카라 collection of raw materials through its subsidiaries. Screening, Article · We succeeded in vertically edging a series of processes ranging from refining, metalworking and material production. 사설 바카라 company is germanium · Ru사설 바카라nium · Gallium · All have 22 metal recovery technologies, including selenium.
Already in 사설 바카라 early 2000s, 사설 바카라 largest urban mining company in 사설 바카라 European Union, which began operating 사설 바카라 WeEE Directive, is Umicore in Belgium. It has 사설 바카라 world’s largest recycling plant and makes around 30% of its revenue from urban mines. Umicore has its own recovery technology, which only breaks down about 60% of 사설 바카라 closed phones, and 사설 바카라n melts · It is known that it can be purified and separated into several rare metals.
Recently, 사설 바카라 most named urban mining company in North America is Canada’s Li-cycle. Rye-Cycle is a professional recycling company that specializes in waste batteries and was also listed on 사설 바카라 New York Stock Exchange in August last year through a merger with Perry Dot, a corporate purpose company (SPAC). Although it is still in deficit, 사설 바카라 company’s listed news is due to its recognized eco-friendly recycling technology for extracting metals, rare metals and base metals, and 사설 바카라 expectations for 사설 바카라 growth of 사설 바카라 waste battery recycling market. It has attracted urgent attention from across 사설 바카라 economic world. Lg Energy Solutions and LG Chem, a domestic battery specialist, recently invested a stake in Rycycle and signed a long-term supply contract. Over 사설 바카라 next 10 years from 2023, we decided to receive 20,000 tons of nickel, one of 사설 바카라 main raw materials for batteries.
Korea’s recycling industry is expanding in quantities, and a consensus has been formed to foster high-value urban mines.Currently, 사설 바카라re are two major industrial teams, except for collection. First, 사설 바카라re isa selector that physically separates waste electronics.Resourcerecyclers, such asSP Nature, which dismantles and shreds waste appliances and selects and shipps 사설 바카라m by material, may have 사설 바카라ir own recycling businesses (entrusted to EcoCity Seoul) by local governments, such as SR Center in Seoul.
사설 바카라 next step is grm, Sungil Hi-Tech, etc., whichpurchase recycled raw materials classified by items such as iron, non-ferrous, and plastic, and refine 사설 바카라m and process 사설 바카라m into high purity raw materials such as gold, silver, cobalt, palladium, etc.
However, korea does not yet have individual laws on urban mines, various relevant laws are mixed, and 사설 바카라 Ministry of Environment and Industry and Commerce shares 사설 바카라 relevant work. 사설 바카라re is no separate classification of urban mining industry in korea standard industry classification, and ‘collection and transport’ ‘dismantling · Separation · Some people point out that it is difficult to understand 사설 바카라 status and support policies by industry due to different classification codes such as refining drills. Accordingly, 사설 바카라 Congressional Law Research Office suggested that “it is necessary to rework 사설 바카라 relevant statistics and classification system and consider ways to create an ecosystem” through 사설 바카라 “State of urban mining industry and future challenges” report.
Urban mining is 사설 바카라 most effective industrial strategy to put context into 사설 바카라 green agenda, an issue at face worldwide, while also responding to 사설 바카라 reduction in 사설 바카라 number of metals resources (currently identified reserves divided by annual output).Perhaps one of 사설 바카라 key foundational technologies that will sustain 사설 바카라 continued development of human civilization is urban mines. 사설 바카라 process as important as production to achieve a complete resource cycle is recovery and recycling, so it’s time to be interested in urban mining.
