Language note / Recycling �What is meant by recycling? �How does recycling affect engineering design? Language note �magnetism = force of attraction �galvanized = coated with zinc (Zn) to prevent rusting �recyclable = can be recycled �chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) = metals added to steel to make stainless steel �traces = small quantities �scarcity = limited availability /rarity 2 Dr. Hatem Elaydi, IUG, Spring 2016, ENGG 1305
Language note … �insulation = both electrical insulation and thermal insulation �wire = single strand of metal �scrap = waste material intended for recycling �alloy = a mixture of metals sometimes containing a nonmetal, for example carbon (C) in steel �brass = an alloy of copper (Cu), zinc and, often lead (Pb) �bronze = an alloy of copper and tin (Sn) �melting down = using heat to change the state of a substance from solid to liquid �energy-intensive = using a lot of energy 3 Dr. Hatem Elaydi, IUG, Spring 2016, ENGG 1305
Language note … �electrolysis = passing an electrical current through a liquid or solid in order to separate chemical compounds �ore = mineral from which metal is extracted �hardwood = timber from deciduous trees �softwood = timber from pine trees �ironmongery = collective term for small metal items commonly used in buildings, for example door handles, hinges, screws, nails. 4 Dr. Hatem Elaydi, IUG, Spring 2016, ENGG 1305
Independent Reading/ Q 1 a Scrapping cars �A lot of metal, notably steel, can be recycled. Intact parts can be recovered and resold. Oil, brake fluid and battery acid are potential pollutants which need to be disposed of carefully. Tires are more difficult to recycle. Recycling electronics �Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and chromium are potential pollutants and can also be recovered for recycling. The process of recycling electronic products is quite difficult due to the difficulty of breaking up and separating very small components. 5 Dr. Hatem Elaydi, IUG, Spring 2016, ENGG 1305
Independent Reading/ Q 1 a … Breaking up ships � Large amounts of steel can be recovered and recycled. Main pollutants are fuel oil from tanks and asbestos which was widely used as an insulation material inside ships. Demolishing buildings � Structural steel can be recycled, concrete can be crushed and reused, for example in asphalt for road surfacing, copper in electrical wires can be recovered and recycled, good-quality bricks can sometimes be cleaned and reused. As with ships, asbestos is often found, requiring special precautions for its removal. The main difficulty is the time taken to demolish buildings meticulously. 6 Dr. Hatem Elaydi, IUG, Spring 2016, ENGG 1305
