The implementation of sorting systems based on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) is a priority in the innovation strategy of European Aluminium (EA), the European aluminium industry association [7, 8]. The goal of using LIBS is to sort aluminium post-consumer scrap into recyclable alloy groups.
The STEINERT LSS | LIBS is used to sort aluminium scrap by alloy type. The LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) technology allows the alloy elements to be determined and quantified with precision thus permitting a distinction to be made between a large number of different alloy types. With wrought alloys, for example, it can distinguish ...
