Fundamental high temperature e-waste investigations for high-value products

高价值产品的高温电子废物基础研究。该项目旨在将有毒电子废物（电子废物）转化为增值金属和合金，同时分离有害成分并防止在处理过程中产生有害排放物。这一快速增长的废物流的巨大库存正在造成数量危机以及有毒成分造成严重的健康和环境问题。利用原子级模拟、快速加热、高温（1000-1600 ℃）和选择性热转化，该项目旨在建立电子废物受控转化的新途径。将建立关于金属、塑料和氧化物的高温转化和其他微观现象的微循环基本原理。

Fundamental high temperature e-waste investigations for high-value products. This project aims to transform toxic electronic waste (e-waste) into value added metals and alloys, simultaneously segregating hazardous constituents and preventing the generation of harmful emissions during processing. Huge stockpiles of this fast growing waste stream are creating a crisis of quantity as well as of toxic ingredients posing serious health and environmental problems. Using atomic-level simulations, rapid heating, high temperatures (1000-1600 C) and selective thermal transformations, this project aims to establish novel pathways for a controlled transformation of e-waste. Microrecycling fundamentals on high temperature transformations of metals, plastics and oxides and other micro-level phenomena will be established.
