New technologies for e-waste recycling

该项目旨在为回收电子废物(电子废物)提供商业上可行的方法，重点是塑料回收和从电路板中回收贵金属。该项目希望在使用新型浸出剂和吸附剂分离和回收金、银和钯方面产生新的知识。此外，还将评估将电子垃圾塑料转化为建筑材料的新技术。该项目的预期结果包括澳大利亚电子废物回收行业的新能力，因为大部分电路板废物被运往海外。这应该会带来巨大的经济效益，例如回收有价值的金属和开发新型建筑材料。

This project aims to provide commercially viable methods for recycling electronic waste (e-waste), with a focus on plastic recycling and precious metal recovery from circuit boards. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the separation and recovery of gold, silver, and palladium using novel leach reagents and sorbents. Additionally, new techniques will be evaluated for converting e-waste plastic into construction materials. Expected outcomes of this project include new capabilities for Australia's e-waste recycling industry, as the majority of circuit board waste is shipped overseas. This should provide significant economic benefits such as the recovery of valuable metals and the development of novel construction materials.
