Estimating Recycling Return of Integrated Circuits Using Computer Vision on Printed Circuit Boards

The technological growth of the last decades has brought many improvements in daily life, but also concerns on how to deal with electronic waste. Electrical and electronic equipment waste is the fastest-growing rate in the industrialized world. One of the elements of electronic equipment is ...

Waste-Printed Circuit Board Recycling: Focusing on Preparing Polymer Composites and Geopolymers

The waste from end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment has become the fastest growing waste problem in the world. The difficult-to-treat waste-printed circuit boards (WPCBs), which are nearly 3-6 wt % of the total electronic waste, generate great environmental ...

Characteristics of Metals Leached from Waste Printed Circuit Boards Using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

The aim of this study was to compare leaching characteristics of metals from printed circuit boards (PCBs), taken from waste electrical and electronic equipment in the presence and in the absence of the iron-oxidizing bacteria, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. A. ferrooxidans not only increases ...

Assessment of Pre-Treatment Techniques for Coarse Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) Recycling

Waste electrical and electronic equipment or e-waste generation has been skyrocketing over the last decades. This poses waste management and value recovery challenges, especially in developing countries. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are mainly employed in value recovery operations. Despite the high energy costs of generating crushed and milled particles of the order of several microns, those are employed in conventional hydrometallurgical techniques. Coarse PCB pieces (of order a few centimetres) based value recovery operations ...

Recycling Waste Circuit Board Efficiently and Environmentally Friendly through Small-Molecule Assisted Dissolution

With the increasing amount of electronic waste (e-waste) generated globally, it is an enormous challenge to recycle printed circuit boards (PCBs) efficiently and environmentally friendly. However, conventional recycling technologies have low efficiency and require tough treatment such as high temperature (>200 °C) and high pressure. In this paper, a small-molecule assisted approach based on dynamic reaction was proposed to dissolve thermosetting polymers containing ester groups and recycle electronic components from PCBs.

Electronic Waste, an Environmental Problem Exported to Developing Countries: The GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY

Electronic waste (e-waste) is a rapidly developing environmental problem particularly for the most developed countries. There are technological solutions for processing it, but these are costly, and the cheaper option for most developed countries has been to export most of the waste to less developed countries. There are various laws and policies for regulating the processing of e-waste at different governance scales such as the international Basel Convention, the regional Bamoko Convention, and various national laws. However, many of the regulations are not fully implemented and there is substantial financial pressure to maintain the jobs created for processing e-waste. Mexico, Brazil, Ghana Nigeria, India, and China have been selected for a more detailed study of the transboundary movements of e-waste.

LW2000 WAVE SOLDER MACHINE -- Looking for the manufacture. SMT Devices reps it, but there is no support from them. Anyone out there HELP. Please contact me at bruce.olver@neotech.com my work or above.

Width control on Universal Genesis (PWC) issue -- I've got two Genesis machines (GC30 and GX11) that I bought used. The PWC on one is disabled, and if I enable that axis the machine will tell me it can't find or initialise that axis. I tried swapping the board 48904905 from the working machine to the other and nothing changed. I'm unsure what to try next. Any ideas?

FKN Systek's Pneumatic Nibbler for Singulating Multiple Tabs of a Tab Routed PCB

Singulating tab routed printed circuit cards in low to medium volume production quantities is safe and easy with the N115 Nibbler from FKN Systek. Two sharp support blades on either side of the tab help cleanly slice the PCBs from the tabs. The blades are mounted on adjustable slide clamps which can be positioned to match a row of tabs. The operator places the routed PCB sections over the blades and slides it forward so the tabs are under the edge of the cutting blade The N115 can handle boards with first to last tab distance of up to 14 inches.
