Researchers Develop a More Sustainable Method of Recycling Metal From E-Waste

Researchers Develop a More Sustainable Method of Recycling Metal From E-Waste

A team of researchers has developed a more sustainable and affordable way to recycle metal found in electronic waste. Researchers used electrothermal chlorination, or flash Joule heating (FJH), and carbochlorination to save several metals from e-waste by heating a material with an electric current. They published their findings in the journal Nature Chemical Engineering. The […]
