The consumption of Al materials has increased recently with sophisticated developments in various industries, for example, the decrease in vehicle weight and the high mileage obtained from gasoline in the automobile industry. At the same time, the generation of Al scrap has been increasing steadily. Aluminum recycling has many benefits in terms of economic, energy, and environmental aspects. It can be imagined easily that the amount of CO2 and the total air emissions are both also reduced in Al scrap recycling, as compared to the primary processes of production.
