Liquid-liquid mass transfer in microfluidic reactors: Assumptions and realities of non-ideal systems KU Leuven
Recovery of copper, zinc and lead from photovoltaic panel residue KU Leuven
The increase in photovoltaic panel installations in Europe will generate vast amounts of waste in the near future. Therefore, it is important to develop new technologies that allow the recycling of end-of-life photovoltaic panels. This material can serve as a secondary resource, not only for precious metals (e.g. silver), but also for base metals. In this work, the extraction and recovery of the base metals copper, zinc and lead from a ...
Continuous Counter-Current Ionic Liquid Metathesis in Mixer-Settlers: Efficiency Analysis and Comparison with Batch Operation KU Leuven
Following the initial cation formation, the synthesis of ionic liquids (ILs) often involves an anion-exchange or metathesis reaction. For hydrophobic ILs, this is generally performed through several cross-current contacts of the IL with a fresh salt solution of the desired anion. However, if a large number of contacts is required to attain an adequate conversion, this procedure is not economical because of the large excess of the reagent that is ...
Combined Hydro-Solvo-Bioleaching Approach toward the Valorization of a Sulfidic Copper Mine Tailing KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
Nonaqueous Solvent Extraction for Enhanced Metal Separations: Concept, Systems, and Mechanisms KU Leuven
Efficient and sustainable separation of metals is gaining increasing attention, because of the essential roles of many metals in sustainable technologies for a climate-neutral society, such as rare earths in permanent magnets and cobalt, nickel, and manganese in the cathode materials of lithium-ion batteries. The separation and purification of metals by conventional solvent extraction (SX) systems, which consist of an organic phase and an ...
