Development of the reverse hybrid jig: Separation of polyethylene and cross-linked polyethylene from eco-cable wire

We have developed various types of jigs for resources recycling focusing primarily on plastic-plastic separation. The RETAC jig could be used to separate plastics heavier than water (specific gravity (SG) > 1.0) with different SGs while the hybrid jig—a process combining jig and flotation—was developed to separate plastics with similar SGs but different surface wettabilities. Meanwhile the reverse jig—a RETAC jig with a top screen—is used to...
