What are the disadvantages of burning waste copper cable wire?

We know that copper and plastic can be separated from waste copper cable wire for recycling. The most common way to recycle waste copper cable wire in life is to separate copper out through burning waste copper cable wire. However, there are many disadvantages of burning burning waste copper cable wire.

The first disadvantage of burning waste cable is that the performance of copper is damaged, so the purity of the copper obtained is not high. Burning waste copper cable wire is a more traditional method, which uses the combustible nature of the wire sheath to directly burn waste wires and cables, and then recover the copper inside. We all know that copper has excellent properties such as electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, and is widely used in power, electronics, and other industries. So the method of burning copper is not suitable.

Disadvantages of burning waste cable wire

The second disadvantage of burning waste copper cable wire is that the gases generated during burning waste copper cable wire can seriously pollute the environment and even endanger human health.

Another disadvantage of burning waste copper cable wire is that the waste plastic is burned cannot be recycled, resulting in waste of resources.

There are so many disadvantages of burning waste copper cable wire, so how do I separate copper and plastic from waste copper cable wire? Copper cable wire recycling machine could achieve it. Copper cable wire recycling machine is an environmental friendly machinery, which is adopts dry type physical separation method, without using fire, water or chemical, thus no any secondary pollution. With the electrostatic separator, both the copper and plastic can be recycled and the recovery rate could reach to 99.9%. Use copper cable wire recycling machine to separate copper and plastic, not only make full use of resources, but also have no pollution to the environment.[Related reading: How to separate copper from scrap cable wires?]
