What will be detected in common imported scrap metal (including metal-containing waste)?

It is my pleasure to answer your questions. Commonly imported scrap metals include copper, aluminum and other scrap non-ferrous metals, scrap iron and steel, scrap wire and cable, scrap electric motors, and other scrap miscellaneous hardware and electrical appliances. Scrap metal due to its own variety of complexity, so there are many problems found. Detected environmental failure are mainly:

1, radioactive contamination: will cause serious harm to human health.

2, industrial slag: a small amount of copper, aluminum, iron and other metals and a large number of slag mixture, the use of very low value, is industrial waste.

3, waste circuit boards: the substrate is made of thermosetting plastics, many of which are difficult to recycle domestically, and its surface coating is easy to cause pollution, low metal recycling value, so it is banned from importing.

4, mixed metal scrap mixed with a large number of scrap rubber and so on.

These goods are scrap car crushed into the waste tire which is then cut into rubber crumbs, due to the waste rubber as inclusions clearly exceeded the prescribed limits of the proportion of the whole batch of goods to make environmental protection failed.

5, waste oil-sealed wires and fiber-optic cables: because of which the insulating oil contains deadly toxic substances and prohibited imports.

6, waste electrical appliances: in the import of scrap metal, waste hardware and electrical appliances and waste motors are easy to entrain the ban on imports of waste monitors, waste telephones, waste compressors, waste medical equipment and other waste electrical appliances.

7, soil: According to the "Chinese People's *** and the State Entry and Exit Animal and Plant Quarantine Law", soil is prohibited items. Imported waste hardware, waste motors in the collection, transportation, storage and other links easily mixed with soil, some also carry nematodes and other animal and plant pests.

8, explosive waste: scrap metal is easy to entrain waste shells and other explosive waste, in the recycling process is extremely dangerous.
