As a developed industrialized society we are faced with increasing problems associated with the obsolete electronic materials. These materials are classed as hazardous wastes because they contain heavy metals and other elements that must be removed or made chemically inert before they can be disposed of safely. Electronic components however also represent a source of valuable elements that can be recovered and reused. The project will assist in finding safe, cost-efficient ways in which we can process these materials and, at the same time, recover the valuable metals contained within them. The project will thus contribute to the sustainable use of our raw materials and a cleaner environment.Read moreRead less
