2. 1. Synthesis of organobromines as a tool for their characterisation and environmental occurrence assessment

   Author : Andreas Rydén; Göran Marsh; Vladimir Nikiforov; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polybrominated diphenyl ethers; Brominated diphenyliodoniums salts; PBDEs; OH-PBDEs; MeO-PBDEs; Synthesis; Analysis; Abbreviations; Metabolites; Marine natural products; E-waste; Brominated flameretardants; miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry;

   Abstract : Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been intensively used as flame retardants (FRs) and have become ubiquitous environmental pollutants. PBDEs form hydroxylated PBDEs (OH-PBDEs) as metabolites. Further, some OH-PBDEs and methoxy-PBDEs (MeO-PBDEs) are natural products. READ MORE

4. 2. Electronic Waste Plastics Characterisation and Recycling by Melt-processing

   Author : Erik Stenvall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; melt-blending; WEEE; ternary polymer blend; processing conditions; plastics recycling; composition analysis; e-waste;

   Abstract : Melt-processing of blended plastics from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is a method to facilitate mechanical recycling, and this might improve the recycling conditions and increase the amounts of plastics being recycled. To ensure the quality of melt-blended plastic waste, it is essential to know the composition of the incoming material and then possibly improve the compatibility between the different polymer phases.
