Updated Cost Evaluation of a Metal and Mineral Recovery Process for Treating Municipal Incinerator Residues.

PB249886

Publication Date	1975
Personal Author	Henn, J. J.
Page Count	48
Abstract	An economic evaluation was made of the Bureau of Mines incinerator residue separation process to update the one published in 1971 to a mid-1974 cost basis. This evaluation includes a modification of the glass recovery operation used in the original plant design as well as a unit to bale ferrous scrap product before shipment. Products from the plant are ferrous metal, aluminum and copper-zinc scrap, and a mixed color glass cullet. Capital and operating cost estimates are included for four plant sizes. A graph of interest rate of return as a function of total product value is included to provide a measure of the profitability of the process.
