Application of mechanochemistry for ecological recovery of critical metals from waste streams KU Leuven
Mechanochemisty, as technique, possesses some interesting properties for metal recycling such as higher extraction yields and higher selectivity along with a reduced number of processing stages and reduced volumes of effluents. Furthermore, the technique allows chemical reactions which are impossible with traditional thermal methods. Although mechanochemistry is a well-established branch of chemistry, its implementation in waste management is ...
