Question

Assume the following process with flows, for a facility for receiving
and sorting various metal-containing waste fractions.


The plant separates out a fairly clean fraction of copper scrap, which
contains 1.5 tonnes of copper annually. It is estimated that copper
metal entering the plant is a total of 2.0 tonnes per year.

the material efficiency of the plant is 75%

the separation coefficient (transfer coefficient) for copper is 75%

the allocation coefficient for copper is 75%

the selectivity coefficient (selective coefficient) for copper is 25%
