Dechlorination of ASR (auto shredder residual) wastes has been studied in the present work. ASR was predechlorinated with Ca(OH)(2) extraction as well as dechlorinated with Ca(OH)(2) during incineration or pyrolysis. Experimentally, pre-dechlorination of ASR via extraction of Cl with a Ca(OH)(2) solution (pH 12.5) may reduce Cl contain in the ASR by 15%. Extraction of Cl at elevated temperatures (such as 373 K), interestingly, led to a further reduction of Cl in the ASR to 33.5%. A small amount of HCl and light hydrocarbons (C(1)-C(5)) were yielded during pyrolysis of the ASR in the presence of Ca(OH)(2) at 773 K. On the contrary, 75-85% of Cl may be mineralized (CaCl(2)) with Ca(OH)(2) (or CaO) during incineration at 1100 K.

The challenge for the automotive industry is how to ensure they adopt the circular economy when it comes to the disposal of end-of-life vehicles (ELV). According to the European Commission the UK achieved a total reuse and recovery rate of 88%. This is short of the revised ELV directive target of 95% materials recovery, which requires a minimum of 85% of materials to be recycled or reused.

Directive 2000/53/EC sets a goal of 85% material recycling from end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) by the end of 2015. The current ELV recycling rate is around 80%, while the remaining waste is called automotive shredder residue (ASR), or car fluff. In Europe, this is mainly landfilled because it is extremely heterogeneous and often polluted with car fluids.

Each European Member State must comply with Directive 2000/53/EC recycling and recovery targets by 2015, set to 85% and 95%, respectively. This paper reports a shredder campaign trial developed and performed in Italy at the beginning of 2008. It turns out to be the first assessment about the critical aspects belonging to the Italian End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) reverse supply chain involving 18 dismantling plants, a shredder plant and 630 ELV representatives of different categories of vehicles treated in Italy during 2006.

Automobiles usually contain toxic substances, such as lubricants, acid solutions and coolants. Therefore, inappropriate handling of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) will result in environmental pollution. ELV parts, which include metallic and non-metallic substances, are increasingly gaining recycling value due to the recent global shortage of raw materials.
