Metal recovery

$Residual fractions$

Residual fractions

The process of producing steel also generates residual fractions (metal slags). Today, our process is so optimised that we can even recover the metal balls of ballpoint pens from the residual fraction.

Fireproof bricks

We demetallises the fireproof bricks and sorts them into different types of material so they will enjoy maximum reutilisation.

Bottom ashes

We recover the metal from bottom ashes of household waste. Once treated, the mineral fraction can - after a crushing and sieving process - also be reused as granulate in the concrete industry, or as raw material for carbonation.

Carbonation

Carbstone technology

Using our patented carbstone technology you can manufacture the most diverse high-quality, sustainable and environmentally-friendly materials. Carbinox® and CO2 act as binders and make cement unnecessary. This has its advantages: metal slags are converted into products with added value and the CO2 emitted by companies is given a valuable, new and sustainable destination.

Geopolymer technology

Orbix’s geopolymer technology is also designed to make high-quality construction products with a low CO2 emission and thus a reduced environmental cost. In the production of geopolymer concrete one no longer works with cement, but rather with alternative, green binding agents. In combination...
