Brief description of the pilot (objectives, main activities)

Pilot plant based on innovative technology to separate the epoxy resin contained in PCBs without metal losses.

Results achieved (e.g., environmental impact, community benefits)

• Validation of the innovative process design to separate the epoxy resin contained in PCBs without metal losses.
• Recovery of metal concentrate to be recycled by secondary/mixed smelters.
• Recovery of epoxy concentrate for chemical recycling.
   

Key technical results (e.g. technologies used, innovations introduced)

Atlantic Copper (Spain) developed innovative technologies to separate the epoxy resin contained in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) without losses of non-ferrous metals such as copper, gold, silver, or tin.
