Bioleaching for metal recovery from telecoms switchboard

Baniasadi M., (Corresponding) Farnaud S., Graves J., Renshaw D., Moris S.

Topic:

Electric and electronic waste

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a necessity for electronic equipment to function especially in the telecommunications industry. From a PCB for broadcasting networks to PCBs for office communications they are what makes electronic communications equipment operate. The sophistication possible with...Read more

Waste Printed Circuit Boards (WPCBs) as a potential source for the recovery of rare earth elements through bioleaching.

(Corresponding) Gonzalez Baez A., Pantoja Muñoz L., Garelick H., Purchase D.

Topic:

Electric and electronic waste

Rare earth elements (e.g., neodymium, dysprosium and praseodymium) have contributed to the miniaturization, energy efficiency, durability, and high speed of many technology gadgets. Due to their electric conductivity, magnetic, luminescence and optical properties, rare earth elements (REE) are...Read more
