Vitrimers are polymers possessing a covalent adaptable network (CANs) that can undergo topological structural transformation under specific conditions, enabling material reprocessing. In this study, an active ester hardener containing imine bonds (TAI) was synthesized, and subsequently, epoxy resin with CANs (epoxy vitrimer, DGEBA/TAI) prepared, which exhibited excellent thermal stability (initial degradation temperature of 364 °C char yield at 800 30%), low water absorption (0.25 wt %), good dielectric properties (dielectric constant 3.37 loss 0.013). A comparative scratch healing test between the vitrimer conventional showed hard could not demonstrate self-healing ability derived from deformation recovery. The performance such vitrimers should focus on recycling reprocessing rather than capability. Thus, be effectively recycled reused by hot pressing or solvent method, resulting in resins tensile strength (70 MPa for hot-press welding 58 recycling) compared to originals (69 MPa). addition, materials allow shape reconfiguration through structure transformation, alternative analytical method proposed obtain relaxation time fitting equation stress curve, mitigate some interferences provide data reliability verification viscoelastic vitrimer.

Electrodeposition is an attractive method to recover copper from waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs), which preferably requires metal-rich concentrate as raw material. In this study, a route for WPCBs was established assist electrodeposition by using flotation method. Different aqueous disperse medium in conventional flotation, we proposed ethanol improve dispersivity and sustainability. An H-type electrolytic cell with cation exchange membrane used electrolyze at the anode pure on cathode. The experiments were conducted investigate effect of grade proportion after rate copper, key factors (solid-to-liquid ratio applied voltage) affecting evaluated. results show that can greatly enrich content be increased 182.3 %, recovery 85.1 %. Increasing solid-to-liquid voltage increase deposition but affects stability electrodeposition. optimized parameters are: electrolyte temperature 50℃, 25 g/L, 10 V. purity electrodeposits reach over 99

The management of waste from electrical and electronic equipments (WEEEs) is a well-established topic in the extant literature. However, also automotive sector becoming relevant source WEEE, given even more presence components cars. Due to new European environmental policies, end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) volumes are expected grow next future, together with obsolete car electronics components. Hence, this work wants assess potential economic impact derived recycling processes adopting Net Present Value (NPV) as reference indicator. Through detailed sensitivity break-even point (BEP) analysis comparison different cases, identifies set scenarios useful for industrial actors willing enter market recycling. Results show an NPV varying 136,570 607,621 €/t decisive role played by gold recovery.

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) make up 3 to 5% of all electronic waste. The metal content spent PCBs can reach 40%. They usually contain valuable metals, such as Ag, Au, and Pd, well other metals Cu, Sn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Zn, Ni, Mn. However, the metallic part a whole PCB is 40–60% including Cu layers between fiberglass–polymer layers. paper describes economics (Ag, Pd)-containing concentrate preparation from raw PCB. We considered influence pre-treatment method before extraction on self-cost change. disintegration based high-energy impact particles material be ground, thus causing separation components In course work, single double direct grinding using was studied.
