Precious metal (PM) and copper content of dynamic-RAM modules placed on the market during 1991–2008 has been analysed by AAS following comminution acid digestion. Linear regression analysis compositional data ordered according to sample chronology was used identify historic temporal trends in module composition resulting from changes manufacturing practices, project future for use more accurate assessment recycling potential. DRAM found be 'high grade' waste with: stable levels gold silver...

Increasing recovery of critical raw materials (CRMs) from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a strategic priority to mitigate supply risks. Today, CRM rates are generally low, with increases requiring new processes interface optimisation pre-processing ensure appropriate material flows for efficient generated. Here, results an industrial trial increase WEEE presented inform development strategies which generate such flows. Au, Ag, Co, Ga, Mg, Nb, Ru, Pd, Ir, Y, Nd, Sb, Ta W...

After an initial evaluation of several solvents, the efficiency Soxhlet extractions with isopropanol/ammonia (s.g. 0.88) (70 : 30 v v; 24 h) in extracting compounds associated water repellency sandy soils was examined using a range repellent and wettable control (n = 15 4) from Australia, Greece, Portugal, The Netherlands, UK. Extraction role extracts causing soil by determining extract mass, sample organic carbon content (after drying at 20°C 105°C) pre- post-extraction, amounts aliphatic...

This paper considers the problem of reducing CO2 emissions from a power grid consisting variety power-generating plants: coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, and alternative energy. The is formulated as mixed integer linear program (MILP) implemented in GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System). Preprocessing variable elimination strategies are used to reduce size model. model applied an existing Ontario Power Generation (OPG) fleet analyzed under three different operating modes: (1)...

Photovoltaics (PV) are increasingly important for electrification in rural Sub-Saharan Africa, but what is the best battery technology to use? To explore this question, a small-scale domestic PV system South Africa (20-year lifetime) deliver 1.42 kWh electricity from batteries overnight with 10-h discharge was costed various Li-ion, Pb-acid and Aquion aqueous hybrid ion (AHIBs). Environmental impact; compatibility circular economy; potential cost-reduction through lifetime extension;...

The causes of soil water repellency are still only poorly understood. It is generally assumed that hydrophobic organic compounds responsible, but those concerned have not previously been identified by comparison between samples taken from a repellent topsoil and the wettable subsoil. In this study we separated, characterised, compared present at 4 different depths in sandy under permanent grass cover upper 0.30 m below this. Soil were extracted using mixture isopropanol aqueous ammonia (7 :...
