An advanced manufacturing plant and process to efficiently deconstruct and recycle post-consumer carpet primarily in an aqueous environment. The water-based technology substantially eliminates airborne particulate emissions into the workplace and the environment. It also significantly increases the quality and quantity of the resources recovered from the carpet. In addition to recycling residential carpet, it also reclaims and recycles material from commercial broadloom carpet.

A process for the recovery of aluminum, or recycling process, is described, which is based on separating the aluminum contained in aseptic carton packs (1), flexible packs (2) and residual aluminum alloy powder (3) used in manufacturing additive, through the selective dissolution of aluminum in a solution known as Bayer liquor and/or caustic soda, with sodium aluminate (liquid) and hydrogen gas (H.sub.2, gaseous) products. Both products can be used in an alumina refinery, the sodium aluminate is used for the production of aluminum hydroxide and the hydrogen can be used as fuel for boilers, furnaces or similar.

A reusable, fiber containing pulp product is described that is highly suited for use in the manufacture of paper products. The reusable, fiber containing pulp product provides a mixture of fibers and small, dense polymer/particle fragments. The polymer/particle fragments within the reusable, fiber containing pulp product have a size range and density that facilitates efficient removal of the polymer/particle fragments using pressure screens.

A method for separating fibers using a container, a vacuum pump which is connected to the container volume via a vacuum valve, and a ventilation line with a cross-sectional opening and a valve. The valve can be switched between a closed and open state in a time domain of 19-41 ms and from the open state into the closed state in a time domain of 20 to 45 ms. The method has the steps of filling the container with water and fiber composite, closing the container, mixing the water and the fiber composite using mechanical energy, by stirring, generating kinetic energy in the fiber composite by lowering the container internal pressure to a value between 700 to 950 hPa, and equalizing the pressure in the container to generate cavitation in the fiber composite. The pressure equalization taking place within at least onetime domain of 0.001-1 s.

A cellulose fiber dispersion polyethylene resin composite material formed by dispersing a cellulose fiber into a polyethylene resin, in which a proportion of the above-described cellulose fiber is 1 part by mass or more and 70 parts by mass or less in a total content of 100 parts by mass of the polyethylene resin and the cellulose fiber, and the polyethylene resin satisfies a relationship: 1.7>half-width (Log(MH/ML))>1.0 in a molecular weight pattern obtained by gel permeation chromatography measurement, and a formed body and a pellet using the same, a production method therefor, and a recycling method for the cellulose fiber adhesion polyethylene thin film piece.
