Waste Recovery of Grinding Swarf
A manufacturer was faced with an environmental problem – a large quantity of excess grinding swarf (very fine metal shavings) contaminated with heavy metals.
This posed both a potential environmental risk and expensive clean-up. In addition, the grinding swarf contained valuable alloy metals.
Touchstone evaluated the problem, and developed a process for the recovery of the valuable metal.
This substantially reduced the waste output for the manufacturer while allowing re-use of alloy bearing metal.
Touchstone has performed numerous analyses related to environmental waste, both organic and inorganic in nature.
Touchstone is commited to making the world a better place through the implementation of environmentally sound technologies.
