This week I focused mainly on some specific extraction methods for PCBs. The methods I looked at were in an attempt to learn more about processes that can offer recovery of metals at a cheaper rate or in a more environmentally friendly manner. To start, I looked at electro-conductivity technology. This technique focuses […]

With initial research done in metals recycling, the group was able to move onto more specific research, looking into subjects that appear promising to the end goal of identifying methods of improvement for the current recycling process. After reviewing different reports on the main points that either have a large amount of emissions or

Throughout the whole first week we’ve already started to get some general information and ideas about metal recycling and sustainability. Our primary focus is on E-waste recycling like PCB, battery and wires. At the beginning of this week, we are still not sure what our specific goals are about our whole project, what is

Words by Gaby Ramirez, Jacob Nyholm, and Richard (Zhizhen) Liu Throughout the week, our team was able to accomplish many remarkable things. We attended several meetings with the Loewy Institute where we were able to establish our working spaces and equipment we needed, as well as discussed various companies to contact and possible conferences
Over the course of the first week, the foundations for the Metals Recycling and Sustainability project were laid. In order to promote team collaboration, I created a team folder to hold our notes, important documents, and links to helpful websites and articles. This shared space will allow us to more effectively communicate ideas and

Throughout this week I focused primarily on research with E-waste recycling, specifically on recycling PCBs (printed circuit boards). During this time, I developed a better understanding of the practices that are generally used in E-waste recycling, as well as the many processes involved in recycling PCBs. By recycling PCBs, we can recover the important
