Intelligent Management of Resources in the Sorting of Scrap
The process COLA (Collaboration Of Laser-induced plasma spectroscopy and Laser Ablation) offers the possibility to precisely analyze the alloy compositions of scrap metals. There is great potential: from the automobile and aviation industries to waste incineration plants, scrap metal accumulates in vast amounts. With 100 COLA facilities, annual savings of around 1.1 million tons of CO2 could be realized.
