RECYCLING OF TUNGSTEN CARBIDE

The innovation in the technological development of the productive process of component separation, allows us to obtain high purity tungsten trioxide and cobalt powder. In this way we recover raw materials from carbide scrap, that is, from already used carbide parts that we acquire from our customers and other users, to be processed and extract the components.

Once the carbide scrap has been acquired, the recycling process begins to obtain identical tungsten to that from the tungsten ore, which allows us to get top quality carbide.

Commitment to reduce the impact on the environment

We are committed to reduce the impact of our activity on the environment, since the main advantage of reusing scrap is to reduce the consumption of non-renewable resources.

ADVANTAGES OF REUSING HARD METAL

The raw material is obtained with less energy consumption, it reduces pollution compared to processes that start with virgin material and it reduces the amount of solid waste. In addition to this, there is a cost reduction since the obtained material acquires the same value as if it were new.

Advantages for the environment:

It reduces the amount of tungsten required from mining. Tungsten is a finite and scarce mineral (its reserves at current consumption are estimated at 100 years).

Tungsten carbide recycling implies having a safe resource as it is classified as a mineral used in war conflicts, which implies that it must be traceable.

The recycling process uses 70% less energy and emits 40% less carbon dioxide than production with virgin materials.

It decreases the amount of waste.

Advantages for our customers:

It reduces costs by giving away used carbide parts, while taking their value on account of new parts.

These solid wastes are no longer accumulated by customers or stockpiled as disused scrap.
