HIGH TECH RECYCLING INTER-UNIVERSITY RESEARCH CENTER Hydro. WEEE demo project Prof. Francesco Vegliò ESSEM HIGH TECH RECYCLING INTER-UNIVERSITY RESEARCH CENTER Hydro. WEEE demo project Prof. Francesco Vegliò ESSEM COST Action ES 1407 European network for innovative recovery strategies of rare earth and other critical metals from electric and electronic waste (Re. Creew)

Motivation è Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is the fastest growing waste Motivation è Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is the fastest growing waste stream (2 -5% per annum) in Europe. è Electr(on)ic products consist of a high amount of diverse metals, the precious and rare metals in very small quantities. è Regardless of their low amount in specific electronic components there are some metals which are highly preferred or are even essential for the present technology.

Main Goal To recover rare and precious metals from WEEE including lamps hydrometallurgical processes Main Goal To recover rare and precious metals from WEEE including lamps hydrometallurgical processes

Demonstration Objectives • to design, build and demonstrate the first innovative industrial-like stationary Hydro. Demonstration Objectives • to design, build and demonstrate the first innovative industrial-like stationary Hydro. WEEE plant to recycle precious and rare metals. It will focus mainly on the processing of CRT- and lamps-powder as well as LCDs • to design, build and demonstrate the first full-scale, industrial mobile Hydro. WEEE plant that will be capable of processing all fractions (CRT, lamps, LCDs, Li-batteries, printed circuit boards, …) in 2 or more containers

Research Objectives • The previously developed processes of extracting yttrium, indium, lithium, cobalt, zinc, Research Objectives • The previously developed processes of extracting yttrium, indium, lithium, cobalt, zinc, copper, gold, silver, nickel, lead, tin will be optimised even more. • Processes to recover additional metals (e. g. Cerium, Platinum, Palladium, Europium, Lanthanum, Terbium, …) from the same 5 fractions (CRT, lamps, LCDs, Li-batteries and printed circuit boards) from WEEE and catalysts will be developed. • innovative solutions for the integrated treatment of waste water and the other solid wastes have to be found.

Hydrometallurgical process for lamps RE 2 O 3 + 3 H 2 SO 4 Hydrometallurgical process for lamps RE 2 O 3 + 3 H 2 SO 4 RE 2(SO 4)3 + 3 H 2 O (1) RE 2(SO 4)3 + 3(COOH)2 RE 2(C 2 O 4)3 + 3 H 2 SO 4 (2) The research activities included: laboratory, pilot and industrial tests, simulation of the processes and process analysis. At the first the processes were developed in the small scale, after are studied in the pilot scale using the Hydro. WEEE pilot plant Laboratory scale Pilot scale
