Processing waste printed circuit boards for material recovery [PDF]

, 2007
PURPOSE We have investigated the use of pyrolysis for the processing of waste printed circuit boards (PCBs). The aim was to make the process of separating the organic, metallic, and glass fibre fractions of PCBs much easier and therefore make ...

Suitability and Modification of Different Renewable Materials as Feedstock for Sustainable Flame Retardants

Molecules, 2020
Due to their chemical structure, conventional flame retardants are often toxic, barely biodegradable and consequently neither healthy nor environmentally friendly. Their use is therefore increasingly limited by regulations.
