More Information
Summary:The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a method of hydrothermally treating metallic packaging, metallic labeling material, and scrap metal items. Particularly, the disclosed method initially comprises providing a metallic starting material. The metallic starting material is introduced to a reactor and processed at elevated temperature and/or pressure for a desired amount of time. As a result, the metallic portion of the starting material separates into a distinct layer that can be removed from the remainder of the starting material.
