Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a metal recycling system, and more particularly to a method for recycling and recovering metals with carbon disclosure. [Background technology]

[0002] The Oxford English Dictionary's keyword for 2019 is "climate emergency," which means that abnormal weather caused by global warming is now recognized by the general public as a very serious problem. Because human economic activity is the cause of the current rapid increase in greenhouse gas emissions and the greenhouse effect, international agreements such as the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocol both expect carbon to peak within agreed timeframes and enable domestic companies in each country to achieve carbon neutrality in their industrial production / economic activities. To achieve the carbon neutral goal and avoid the increased operating costs caused by EU carbon tax issues such as CBAM, many companies have begun reducing carbon emissions in their production processes.

[0003] Many companies want to reduce their carbon emissions, but most don't know what to do and only take superficial actions such as recycling materials, increasing reforestation, and using solar panels. If responsible companies want to properly address carbon emissions reduction, they must first identify the carbon emissions of all stages of their production process, which is called a "carbon inventory." Unfortunately, even though small and medium-sized enterprises currently recognize the need for inventories, they are very poor at actually conducting inventories of production processes in their supply chains, let alone inventories of recycled materials and recycling processes. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The present invention provides a method for metal recycling and regeneration production history with carbon disclosure, which solves the technical problem that in conventional industries, the technology and resources for carbon inventory in the remanufacturing process of recycled materials are insufficient, leading to stagnation in the progress of related carbon reduction and inventory, and affecting the progress of overall carbon neutrality. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The present invention provides a method for recording a carbon data report for metal recycling and regeneration production history, including the steps of filling a standard package with recycled materials and scanning the label of the standard package at the same time to obtain an access node for a carbon data report; recording the detection results of the physical or chemical quantities of the recycled materials, a real-time image of the filling, a carbon emission footprint history, and factory recycling information in the access node; recording a standard current value of the standard package, storing the standard package in a storage space after transportation and scanning the label at the same time to obtain the access node; recording the time spent in the storage space and the carbon emissions directly or indirectly generated, and then recording these in the carbon data report.

[0006] The metal recycling and reclamation production history method with carbon disclosure further includes performing a detection determination on the recycled material in the standard packaging to generate a purity level of the recycled material and record it in the carbon data report of the access node.

[0007] The method for recycling and recovering metals with carbon disclosure further comprises a step of performing level compensation based on the purity level and after referring to the standard market price.

[0008] The method for metal recycling and reclamation production history with carbon disclosure further includes the step of taking a plurality of the recycled materials of the standard package of the same physical or chemical amount, modifying and mixing them through a reprocessing process, and then reprocessing them, and simultaneously scanning them, and recording the carbon emissions of the reprocessing process in the carbon data report.

[0009] In the metal recycling and reclaimed production history method with carbon disclosure, all carbon emissions in the carbon data report are recorded evenly on the reclaimed products produced in the reprocessing process, and a product carbon emission record, production history, and carbon certificate for the reclaimed products are generated. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] From the above description, it can be seen that the present invention has the following advantages. 1. Completely record the carbon footprint generated by waste recycling processes, systematically generate fair and open records, adhere to the spirit of ISO, contribute to the fairness and credibility of carbon certificates generated in the future, and completely resolve the problems of previous technologies. 2. In the remanufacturing process of recycled materials, by making good use of monitoring and standard packaging, it is possible to efficiently produce recycled products while providing production history and carbon emission records, achieving the unexpected effect of intelligent carbon inventory and record tracking. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] 1 is a system flow chart of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] In order to clarify the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, but the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make all other embodiments without any creative effort, and all other embodiments fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0013] The invention will now be described in more detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Referring to FIG. 1 , the method for metal recycling and regeneration production tracking with carbon disclosure includes a servo system 10, multiple application programs 20, detection devices 30, a warehouse management system 40, an image capture device 50, a barcode recognition device 60, and multiple standard packages 70. Each application program 20 is connected to the servo system 10 and transmits signals to the servo system 10 to complete signal communication and control operations with the servo system 10. Each detection device 30 is connected to the servo system 10 and outputs detection results to the servo system 10, which then records the detection results. The detection results include, but are not limited to, physical or chemical quantities such as weight, material, purity, density, metal phase, composition, elements, and lattice structure. In other words, the detection devices 30 may be a scale, an elemental analyzer, an optical image monitoring device, an X-ray diffraction device, an EDS elemental analyzer, etc.

[0014] The warehouse management system 40 is signal-connected to the servo system 10 and includes a warehouse space for storing, inputting / outputting, controlling, and managing the total amount of goods. The goods may include different types, units, volumes, etc., and are packed into multiple standard packages 70. The warehouse management system 40 simultaneously records the warehouse greenhouse gas emissions process in each standard package 70. The warehouse greenhouse gas emissions can be related to direct greenhouse gas emissions, input energy (air conditioning, lighting, robot transmission, monitoring management), transportation (forklifts, cranes, public vehicles, trucks, tanker trucks), and other sources. For example, during operation of the warehouse management system 40, each standard package 70 is amortized into its own warehouse greenhouse gas emission history. The server system 10 obtains content information for each standard package 70 and the warehouse greenhouse gas emission history from the warehouse management system 40.

[0015] The plurality of image capture devices 50 and the barcode recognition device 60 continuously record the entire process of the standard package 70 from its origin to its end, such as the production, transportation, storage, remanufacturing, etc. of the standard package 70 in external factories, transport trucks, the warehouse space, recycling factories, etc. The plurality of image capture devices 50 and the barcode recognition device 60 are signal-connected to the servo system 10, respectively, to acquire digital audio and video information, identify the label on each standard package 70, generate a recognition result, and output the recognition result to the servo system 10, and the digital audio and video information includes, but is not limited to, audio, video, and photographs.

[0016] Preferably, during the filling, production, use and delivery processes of the standard package 70, the digital audio and video information and the recognition results of the image capture device 50 and the barcode recognition device 60 are output to the servo system 10 via the application program 20. Here, the application program 20 can be installed on any mobile device A. For example, a driver in a transportation process operates the image capture device 50 and the barcode recognition device 60 built into the mobile device A to obtain the digital audio and video information and the recognition results, respectively, and then corresponds the recognition results to the carbon data report of the standard package 70 via the application program 20 and updates the servo system 10.

[0017] [Embodiment] Recycling of aluminum chips A processing machine in a CNC processing factory is equipped with one or more image capture devices 50 and barcode recognition devices 60, and uses standard packages 70 to fill aluminum chips of a fixed weight and material (e.g., aluminum alloys such as 7075 and 6061, each pack weighing 10 kg). The standard packages 70 include digital tags, such as RFID or QR CODE. After scanning the barcode, the barcode recognition device 60 transmits the digital audio and video information recorded by the image capture device 50 back to the server system 10, updating the factory recycling information for the aluminum chips in the standard packages 70 in the servo system 10 and corresponding to the carbon data report for the standard packages 70. In this way, the carbon data report for each standard package 70 begins with filling the standard packages 70 with recycled materials, and the data collection and recording process is continuously monitored using digital audio and video information to ensure data accuracy and reduce disputes.

[0018] An aluminum supplier purchases the standard package 70 from the CNC processing factory at the standard market price, and the purchase price is recorded in the carbon data report corresponding to the standard package 70 in the servo system 10. The aluminum supplier then allocates cargo equipment to transport and store the standard package 70 in the aluminum supplier's warehouse management system 40. During this process, the type of cargo equipment, mileage, fuel consumption, etc. are recorded, and the label on the standard package 70 is scanned, and the data output is recorded in the carbon data report corresponding to the standard package 70.

[0019] Accordingly, when the standard package 70 is stored in the warehouse management system 40, the carbon data is updated in the carbon data report through image and code scanning. Since the receipt and space of the standard package 70 are fixed, the carbon emissions of the equipment used in the transportation process can be converted and recorded in the carbon report, and the access time and occupied space of the warehouse space are also fixed and estimable values. In this way, the carbon emissions consumed in the processes of producing, recycling, transporting, and storing the aluminum chips in the standard package 70 can all be authenticated and effectively recorded in the carbon data report. The carbon data report can also be continuously updated and recorded to record the carbon emission history of the standard package 70 through a combination of image recording and code scanning recognition.

[0020] The aluminum supplier retrieves the standard package 70 from the warehouse management system 40, detects and determines the purity and composition of the material, and then certifies the purity level of the aluminum chips in the standard package 70 and records it in the carbon emission history.

[0021] Furthermore, after the aluminum dealer completes the purity level evaluation, they can use the standard price purchased at that time as a reference to generate compensation at a level corresponding to the purity level of the aluminum chips, and return the compensation to the CNC factory.

[0022] The aluminum supplier takes a plurality of aluminum chips from the standard package 70 and performs a recycling process to remove impurities from the aluminum scrap, add necessary elements, mix, melt, and refine them into an aluminum alloy soup, which is then re-solidified to form an aluminum ingot. Carbon emissions generated directly or indirectly due to the equipment and environment used in the recycling process are all recorded as an equal portion of the carbon emissions used, and carbon data for the aluminum ingot is generated and recorded in the servo system 10. In this way, the carbon data and manufacturing history of the aluminum ingots produced by recycling each aluminum chip can be effectively and systematically recorded in the servo system 10.

[0023] Furthermore, using another standard package 70 and the above-mentioned records, code scanning, etc., the emissions of the aluminum ingot during the sales process to the buyer can be continuously recorded and recorded in the carbon data report of the standard package 70 of the aluminum ingot. The records of the above process are clear, and each step of the process is fairly and effectively inventoried and recorded, so that the corresponding carbon certificate can be directly generated by the product aluminum ingot upon final shipment.

[0024] As can be seen from the above description, the present invention discloses a method for recycling and recovering metals with carbon dioxide, the steps of which include: providing one or more standard packages 70 including labels; Filling the recycled material into the standard package 70, and at the same time scanning the label of the standard package 70 to obtain an access node for a carbon data report, and recording the detection results of the physical or chemical quantity of the recycled material, the filling real-time image, the carbon emission footprint history and factory recycling information in the access node, wherein the access node is provided by the servo system 10, and the carbon emission footprint history includes, but is not limited to, carbon emissions generated directly or indirectly by personnel, transportation means, etc.; Recording the standard price of the standard package 70, storing the standard package 70 in a storage space after transportation, and simultaneously scanning the label to acquire the access node, recording the time spent in the storage space and the carbon emissions generated directly or indirectly, and then storing them in the carbon data report; detecting and determining the recycled material in the standard package 70, generating a purity level for the recycled material, and recording it in the carbon data report of the access node; taking a plurality of the recycled materials of the standard package 70 of the same physical or chemical amount, modifying and blending them through a reprocessing process, and simultaneously scanning them to reproduce them, and recording the carbon emissions of the reprocessing process in the carbon data report; Recording all carbon emissions from the carbon data report evenly to the recycled products produced in the reprocessing process, and generating a product carbon emission record, production history, and carbon certificate for the recycled products; Includes.

[0025] From the above description, it can be seen that the present invention has the following advantages. 1. Completely record the carbon footprint generated by waste recycling processes, systematically generate fair and open records, adhere to the spirit of ISO, contribute to the fairness and credibility of carbon certificates generated in the future, and completely resolve the problems of previous technologies. 2. In the remanufacturing process of recycled materials, by making good use of monitoring and standard packaging, it is possible to efficiently produce recycled products while providing production history and carbon emission records, achieving the unexpected effect of intelligent carbon inventory and record tracking.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the rights claimed by the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. All other equivalent changes or modifications that do not depart from the spirit disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
