Abstract

This article presents basic information on gel cables and methods of processing them. The wet recycling plant for waste gel cables currently used in the industry is presented. The advantages and disadvantages of this installation are discussed. Current gel cable recycling technologies do not ensure the recovery of all raw materials. The article also shows the reproduction of an industrial installation on a laboratory scale. Laboratory tests included determining the efficiency of the separation of hydrophobic gel from metal and plastic. The moisture content of the resulting products was measured. The final section of the article identifies further research directions.
