     This week was spent getting a poster ready for the summer expo on August 3rd and preparing for the experiment of the project for the summer. I was in contact with both the Physics and Chemistry departments to secure equipment, space and guidance for the experiment and to confirm the materials used in the

     This week, my old high school generously donated ten chromebooks for our group to use in our experiment, securing the material needed for our future research. Due to their dangerous nature, the group removed each battery pack and put them in a secure location so as to avoid any unwanted situations. As we will

     Last week’s research into using subcritical water in the debromination process in separating the metals of printed circuit boards from the plastics. While this did mean that the same process that uses supercritical water could be done with less energy to maintain the pressure needed for a supercritical state, massive amounts of energy would

     Throughout the past week, I have been building on the research that I did last week on the disassembly step for waste printed circuit board (WPCB) recycling while expanding into the recovery step of recycling. While the usage of supercritical water for the degradation of organic materials in WPCBs was promising, the energy required
