Removed computer parts may someday fuel your car. That's because researchers in Romania and Turkey have developed an efficient and simple way to recycle printed circuit boards into environmentally friendly materials for use in fuel production. , plastic and other useful consumer products.
Scientists in Romania have created a way to turn printed circuit boards from discarded computers into clean materials for consumer products, such as fuel or plastic. (Photo: ago.mo.gov) The explosion of computer use has created one of the environmental problems of the world's most headache: What to do with all the discarded circuit boards, these are High concentrations of pollutants such as heavy metals and flame retardants can harm people.
Researchers are looking for ways to get rid of these toxins so they can be recycled safely.
In this new study, researchers collected printed circuit boards from discarded computers and processed them with a combination of high temperature, catalyst, and chemical filtration.
This treatment removes almost all of the toxins from the waste, forming the oil, which can be safely used as fuel or material called material supplied to the machine for a variety of pepper products. use diversity.
