  • Patent number: 9056423
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of an eco friendly foam package material includes a raw material mixing step for mixing raw materials uniformly and thoroughly to form a mixed raw material, a raw material hybrid-melting step for performing a hybrid-melting process to form a hybrid-melted material, a particle forming step for performing the particle forming process by putting the hybrid-melted material into a pelletizer to form plastic particles, and a foam extrusion step. In the foam extrusion step the plastic particles are melted to become a gelatinous state material, and foamed with non-chemical method. Since the properties of the biodegradable polymer are changed by the decomposition enzyme, and further to mix with bio-cellulose and the industrial starch, such that the eco friendly foam package material with compostability is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6637098
    Abstract: A waste fluorescent lamp dismantling method and apparatus is set up to clamp two ends of a waste fluorescent lamp adjacent to its aluminum caps, and to maintain an airtight seal between the clamp sections and the aluminum caps, so that when the aluminum caps at two ends are separated from the waste fluorescent lamp, the gas and vapor in the lamp tube will be prevented from escaping. This apparatus and method can rapidly process waste fluorescent lamps while also conforming to environmental protection requirements.

  • Patent number: 5906725
    Abstract: A zinc-containing waste article is recycled by a method in which the zinc of the waste article is recovered in a molten state while the unmolten nickel/copper electroplating layer of the waste article is dissolved in an acidic solution to form a nickel-zinc alloy or a nickel-zinc-copper alloy electroplating solution.

  • Patent number: 5888373
    Abstract: A method for preparing a nickel-zinc-copper or nickel-zinc alloy electroplating solution from at least one electroplating waste solution and/or at least one acidic leach solution of metal scrap containing nickel and/or zinc ions is disclosed. The method involves mixing two or more than two of solutions of the electroplating waste solutions and the acidic leach solutions, and optionally water, so that the ion concentrations of Ni, Zn, Cu, Fe, Cr and Pb of the resulting mixed solution are within the following ion concentrations:15 gdm.sup.-3 <Ni.sup.2+ <58 gdm.sup.-3, 28 gdm.sup.-3 <Zn.sup.2+ <44 gdm.sup.-3, 0<Cu.sup.2+ <1430 gm.sup.-3, 0<Fe.sup.2+ +Fe.sup.3+<5000 gm.sup.-3, 0<Cr.sup.3+ <1000 gm.sup.-3 and 0<Pb.sup.2+ <50 gm.sup.-3.

  • Patent number: 5762204
    Abstract: A ferrofluid sink/float separator for separating nonmagnetic materials of different densities comprises a horizontal separating tank and a magnetic field generating mechanism. The separating tank is filled with a ferrofluid capable of being induced by the magnetic field generating mechanism to have a magnetic field gradient and various apparent densities in the direction of earth gravity. The magnetic field generating mechanism comprises two magnetic poles spaced at an interval and a gap which is defined by the two magnetic poles and is located under the horizontal separating tank.

  • Patent number: 5728854
    Abstract: A method for separating iron for nickel and/or cadmium contained in a battery waste is composed of a first step in which the spent batteries are crushed and calcined. The calcined pieces are mixed with an acetic acid aqueous solution before acetic acid and water are removed by evaporation or distillation so as to produce a residue containing metallic acetates. Water, the residue and an oxidant are mixed such that Fe.sup.+ and Fe.sup.++ acetates are converted into a basic ferric acetate, Fe(CH.sub.3 COO).sub.2 OH, which is insoluble in water and is recovered by filtration.
