ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process and apparatus for the recovery, for re-use, of metallic conductors such as copper and aluminum from insul- ated cable, particularly scrap telephone cable, the process utilizing a unique combination of mechanical and chemical operations protective of both the recovered metals and the environment. The invention has particular utility in the pro- cessing of cable of the type which includes as a filler a petro- leum gel or similar material employed as a moisture barrier. It is an important feature of the invention that this petroleum jelly or petrolatum can be effectively removed in a regulated solvent extraction step, the specific process being highly effective to remove such organic material essentially quanti- tatively from pre-chopped scrap material. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the process is a continuous one, making feasible efficient, economical recovery of valuable con- ductors in an unoxidized state, and petrolatum filler.
