Abstract

Since the 1970s, eddy current separation has experienced five development stages. Currently, it has been widely used for non-ferrous metal of end-of-life vehicles. This paper briefly summarizes the current development of scrapped vehicle recycling in China, meanwhile the research work of eddy current separation at home and abroad is comprehensively described, in the end, the application of eddy current separation is summarized and prospected.
