Results will be presented of the ongoing research on separation technologies as follow up on the presentations on previous Light Metal Conferences. The work on the image analysis of the material separated by the Eddy Current us finalised. Directives for commercial applications are given. The technique is suitable for shredder scrap but not for household refuse. Details will be discussed. The Magnus separation technique is further developed. Experiments have been performed on the separation of aluminum and aluminium oxide from dross. After milling, which is the main problem, the particles are sieved in three fractions. Results of the separation trials will be presented Separation with a high throughput is possible. However, most progress is made on the separation of metal from bottom ashes. These results will be discussed too.
