The purpose of the study is to identify technological barriers to increased recycling, where they exist, and to present approaches to overcoming any such barriers. The three papers contained in this publication discuss recovered magnetic metals - primarily steel cans recovered from municipal solid waste. One of the papers, on tin as a contaminant of recovered steel, is presented here in abstract only. This lengthy paper is published in Resource Recovery and Conservation (Vol. 2, No. 4, 1977, pp. 301-328) and is available as a reprint from the National Center. The other two papers, on aluminum and organic contaminants of recovered steel, are presented here in final and complete form.
