In this process, VVF power cables are placed in a glass reactor and subjected to microwave radiation. The pyrolysis carbonizes the PVC insulation, exposing the copper wire for easy recovery while ...

The demand for electronics has led to a significant increase in e-waste. In 2022, approximately 62 million tons of e-waste were generated, marking an 82% increase from 2010. Projections indicate that ...

Researchers from Università di Pavia in Italy and Sophia University in Japan have created a novel microwave-induced pyrolysis technique that offers an economical and effective means of recycling ...

A Japan-Italy research team say they have developed a simple and convenient method for recovering copper wires from PVC cables that involves the use of microwave radiation and avoids the generation or ...

Hydrogen production through pyrolysis has been around as a concept for a while now, but recent research has pitched two far more efficient ways of producing the lightest gas on earth — rapid pyrolysis ...

The synthesis process of ZnCl2-activated biochar comprises three stages. The first phase is biochar production using microwave-assisted pyrolysis. Then, the biomass was pyrolysed at 3 kW for 30 min.

US start-up H Quest says its emissions-free microwave plasma pyrolysis technology will turn methane into H2 and high-value solid carbon or petrochemicals — with these “co-products” alone making ...

Julian Brown recently went viral after posting a video that showcased his work in the still nascent field of microwave pyrolysis. Julian Brown, a 21-year-old Atlanta native, recently went viral after ...
