In recent years, the global demand for aluminum and its production has risen steadily. 1.2 million tons of aluminum were produced in Germany in 2019, with approx. 53% scrap being used in the process [3]. Products with a short lifespan (production waste, single-use products) account for a considerable proportion of scrap. A fundamental problem encountered when recycling (remelting) aluminum scrap is metal loss. Therefore, an increase in aluminum yield of 1% through more efficient recycling processes corresponds to €10 million per annum at a price of about €1,600/t for secondary aluminum production in Germany.
