Steel grit is mainly produced by melting and reducing high-alumina bauxite, anthracite, and iron filings at high temperatures in an electric arc furnace. It possesses high hardness and cutting power, and is primarily used for sandblasting and polishing mechanical surfaces, with extremely wide applications. The following describes the recycling of steel grit:
Many manufacturers, after using steel grit, neglect it due to concerns about its cracking or the difficulty in processing the mortar, sometimes even dumping it directly as waste, thus wasting a large amount of resources. In fact, used steel grit has considerable value; it's just more difficult to process.
Sandblasting and polishing sand made from single-material steel grit can be sold back to manufacturers. After screening and crushing, the manufacturers can obtain small-diameter sand, which can also be sold as counterweight material to mechanical counterweight companies. Sandblasting and polishing sand made from mortar mixtures can be sold to chemical companies.
The recycling and reuse of waste steel grit not only reduces environmental pollution but also protects resources and increases the profitability of enterprises.
