Catalytic dissolution of metals from printed circuit boards using a calcium chloride–based deep eutectic solvent.
The presence of water in a DES imparts selectivity to metal etching via the formation passivation layers.
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are an emerging class of ionic liquids that offer a solution to reclaiming technology critical metals (TCMs) from electronic waste, with potential for improved life cycle analysis. The high viscosities typical DESs, however, impose mass transport limitations such passive TCM removal generally requires immersion over extended durations, in some cases the order hours. It is postulated that, through targeted application power ultrasound, delamination key structures...
The increase of digitization, alongside the growth in consumer electronics and shortened life cycles, has led to a significant global volume electronic waste (e-waste).
It has long been claimed that the anion of DES or IL is critical for controlling redox properties metal ions. In this study we investigate effect different salt anions on copper and speciation, compare with solvent anions, when a single used in range solvents. shown much more significant than properties. also found species remain same tetrachloride despite starting salt. An exception seen copper(I) salt, which makes linear dichloride species, as well copper(II) acetate system, displays...
Recycling of thermoelectric materials: leg and copper plates removed by targeted oxidation or legs high-intensity ultrasonication.
Extra-terrestrial mining and metal processing are vital for access to strategic metals space exploration. This study demonstrates the first time catalytic dissolution of from meteorite proxies metal-rich asteroids using a deep eutectic solvent (DES). DESs particular interest extra-terrestrial as they can be designed have relatively low vapour pressures could potentially made organic waste products created in settlements. Three types meteorites were investigated: two chondrites (H3, H5) one...
Abstract Extra-terrestrial mining is vital for access to strategic metals space exploration and feed an increasing terrestrial need in sustainable energy generation storage.

The share of solar energy is increasing worldwide, leading to a widespread use panels. Knowing that the 80 Mt waste panels will be produced by 2050, sustainable processes must designed in order deal with inevitable increase cells coming years. main advantage associated recycling avoid dispersion hazardous materials environment occurring when are landfilled. It also reduces need for primary mineral resources and may reduce supply risk important components like silicon wafers, which production...
