NSERC Industrial Research Chair for Colleges in Advanced Recycling Technologies for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

电子废物是世界上增长最快的固体废物流。Conestoga** 学院 ** 废弃电气和电子设备先进回收技术的Greentec工业研究主席将专注于改善电子废物回收流程，以最大限度地提高材料回收率。这项研究将 ** 产生可由当地设备制造商制造的新产品以及新工艺 **，这些新工艺将在一系列制造业务中产生价值并节省成本。这项研究的结果将对电子回收商、制造业和高等教育机构具有价值，并将支持政策制定者制定战略，以促进经济繁荣和环境可持续性。这个为期五年的IRCC研究计划包括两个项目流：机器人拆卸和 ** 回收涉及创新的解决方案，例如能够适应各种环境的智能机器人，以及 ** 具有增强功能的回收机器人，用于去制造应用。基于传感器的分拣 ** 技术专注于为电子废物回收商开发具有成本效益的解决方案，并通过 ** 提高流程的生产率和最终产品的纯度来提高产量。**工业研究主席Hamid Karbasi博士，P. Eng.非常适合这一角色。他在理工学院的学术和研究记录堪称典范，为他与行业合作伙伴一起支持创新项目和商业化机会提供了必要的基础。该IRCC倡议 ** 得到了康内斯托加智能制造中心、创业中心和应用研究与创新办公室 ** 的支持。滑铁卢大学将作为合作者。研究活动 ** 得到工业伙伴大量资金和实物承诺的支持。

Electronic waste is the world's fastest growing solid waste stream. The Greentec Industrial Research Chair for**Colleges in Advanced Recycling Technologies for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment at Conestoga**College will focus on improving e-waste recycling processes to maximize material recovery. This research will**result in new products that can be manufactured by local equipment manufacturers as well as new processes**that will generate value and cost savings across a range of manufacturing operations. The results of this**research will be of value to electronic recyclers, manufacturing industries and postsecondary institutions, and**will support policy makers as they develop strategies to enhance economic prosperity and environmental**sustainability. This five-year IRCC research program includes two project streams: Robotic Dismantling and**Recycling involves innovative solutions such as smart robots capable of adapting to various environments, and**recycling robots with enhanced capabilities for de-manufacturing applications. Sensor-Based Sorting**Technologies focuses on developing cost-effective solutions and higher yields for e-waste recyclers through**increased productivity of processes and purity of end products.**The Industrial Research Chair, Dr. Hamid Karbasi, P. Eng. is ideally suited for this role. His exemplary**academic and research track record in a polytechnic setting provide the necessary foundation for him to**champion innovative projects and commercialization opportunities with industry partners. This IRCC initiative**is supported by Conestoga's Centre for Smart Manufacturing, Centre for Entrepreneurship, and Office of**Applied Research and Innovation. The University of Waterloo will serve as a collaborator. Research activities**are supported through substantial financial and in-kind commitments from industry partners.
