Design of Mixed-Solvent Extraction and Size-Exclusion Simulated Moving Bed Chromatography to Recover Valuable Compounds from Electronic Waste
Abstract
dc:description.abstractMore than one million tons of polycarbonates and over 500,000 tons of flame retardants are consigned to landfills each year in the form of waste electrical and electronic equipment. Electronic waste is the fasting growing waste steam at a rate of 3-5% per year. Two separation processes are developed to efficiently recover these valuable compounds.
