Effective separation of waste printed circuit boards using microwave-assisted organic swelling.

Monteiro B., Martelo L., Sousa P., Bastos M., (Corresponding) Soares H.
Topic: 
Electric and electronic waste
Nowadays, our lifestyle demands more electronics products, and this rapid development generated an increase in the amount of electronic waste (e-waste). Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) are components in all electronic devices and responsible for a high percentage of the total weight of the...Read more

Development of efficient techniques for the removal of brominated flame retardants from polymer blends with composition that simulates WEEE

(Corresponding) Charitopoulou M., Papadopoulou L., Achilias D.
Topic: 
Electric and electronic waste
Waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) has increased enormously because of the rapid expansion and consumption of electronic devices and their short lifespan. Recycling of WEEE is challenging, due to the presence of various materials including glass, metals and plastics (Buekens and Yang...Read more
