Characterisation of Rare Earth Elements in Waste Printed Circuit Boards (WPCBs) and their bioleaching potential
(Corresponding) Gonzalez Baez A., Purchase D., Garelick H., Pantoja Munoz L.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are part of everyday items such as cellular phones and computers, and they constitute a significant proportion of e-waste. PCBs contain hazardous components but also valuable and critical materials such as copper, gold, silver and rare earth elements. Rare earth...Read more
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
