Waste mining in the Circular Economy - Impact of flow, heat and mass transfer conditions on the partitioning kinetics of critical metallic elements in thermal treatment processes for contaminated non-recyclable waste KU Leuven
In the production of bulk and consumer goods, specific chemical compounds are added in small amounts to establish desired material properties, such as strength, conductivity, colour fastness and resistance to e.g. UV, corrosion, chemical impact, heat, fire and fungal rot. Whereas these added compounds contribute to a higher quality and an extended lifetime of goods on the one hand, on the other hand they make recycling of constituting ...
