Analysis of key technical requirements

Classification and grading system

The new standard divides waste wires and cables into:

  • Waste insulated wires: divided into 4 subcategories according to copper/aluminum/copper clad steel/aluminum clad steel, each with 1-3 levels (wire diameter ≥1.6mm is level 1)
  • Waste sheathed insulated cables: add a special category of steel core aluminum stranded wire
  • Waste bare metal conductors: clarify the processing specifications for those without outer structure

Key points of environmental compliance

Pollution typeImplementation standardCritical limit
Waste waterGB8978COD≤100mg/L
Waste gasGB16297Particle matter≤120mg/m³
NoiseGB12348Daytime ≤65dB
Hazardous waste storageGB18597Impermeable layer ≥2mm

Implementation suggestions

Enterprise upgrade path

  1. Equipment transformation: Configure eddy current separator + optical separator to achieve metal purity ≥99%
  2. Process optimization: Use low-temperature crushing technology to reduce energy consumption by 30%
  3. Intelligent management: Establish a dismantling product traceability system

Risk prevention and control

  • When the insulation layer is broken, the temperature is controlled to be less than 80℃ to prevent the generation of dioxins
  • An electrostatic eliminator is installed in the copper and aluminum sorting process
