Abstract :This study, \"Design of a Gravity Separator for the Recovery of Two Different Metal Groups\", represents important research aiming to recover metals in a sustainable way and reduce the amount of waste. This study aims to separate metals according to their density differences. It is an effective method, especially for the separation of different metals such as copper and aluminum. Therefore, this study investigates how this technology can be used more efficiently.As a result of the literature review, existing gravity separation techniques were evaluated. This formed the basis for a new and novel gravity separator design based on existing knowledge. This design is designed to have a capacity of one ton per hour. This capacity demonstrates usability on an industrial scale. The designed separator aims to separate mixed copper and aluminum pieces and convert them into pure granule raw material.During the implementation phase, it was tested how this design would perform in the field. As a result of these tests, it is aimed to recover approximately 8760 tons of waste material annually. This makes a positive contribution to the environment by recycling large amounts of waste material. In conclusion, this study highlights an important method for sustainable recovery of metals. The effective use of gravity separation technology is of great importance in reducing the amount of waste and protecting natural resources. This study is an important step in highlighting sustainability and environmentally friendly practices.
