This research deals with the study of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene/polycarbonate (ABS/PC) totally derived from wastes electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The aim this is to investigate macroscopic use properties 100% recycled polymers compare them virgin materials. First, a preliminary work sorting characterization was necessary identify predominant polymer components in lots. Then, ...

Electrical and electronic wastes (WEEEs) are a potential source of raw materials. The main challenge for scientists is to set up reliable eco-friendly process recycle materials precious elements from WEEEs. Today, we know that fungi could play an active role in green technologies aimed at recycling valuable elements. bioaccumulation mechanism bioleaching activity filamentous fungal species have...

The National Policy on Solid Waste (NPSW) brought a new dimension to waste management in Brazil. According to the requirements of this law, producers, traders, recyclers, importers, distributors, and consumers are each held responsible for waste outcomes. The establishment of reverse logistics systems, also proposed by the law, begins from the management of diffuse interests in support of envir...

This study investigated thermal cracking and catalytic upgrading of waste from electric electronic equipment (WEEE) plastics on a semi-batch reactor coupled to heated catalyst fixed bed (2-stage vapor cracking). The used is Si–Al ash obtained commercial activated carbon pellets treated with concentrated NaOH solution calcination. purpose the was characterize stream through its thermogravimetry ...
