Prior electro-mechanical separation to improve metal recovery from ceramic-rich electronic waste using bioleaching

(Corresponding) Baniasadi M., Ray D., Graves J., Bolton R., Renshaw D., (Corresponding) Farnaud S.

Topic:

Solid waste management

PCBs, as one of the most valuable streams of e-waste, are a considerable source of precious metals, but also contain considerable amounts of plastic and ceramic. These non-metallic fractions interfere with and can inhibit the efficiency of metal recovery, particularly for precious and rare earth...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
