Electronics Recycling
TERTIARY
RECYCLING IS THE ONLY
ECONOMICALLY
VIABLE METHOD
FOR
RECYCLING
MIXED ELECTRONICS
Features
 | Environmentally friendly technology for processing mixed electronic scrap,
also suitable for auto shredder residue (ASR), scrap tires, ceramics, and
other types of polymeric wastes. |
| Significant fraction of this waste currently goes to landfills. |
| Large sources of scrap are available, throughout North America and the
world. |
| A limited number of facilities are currently processing mixed electronic
scrap. |
| The technology is based upon proven tire recycling technology. |
| One year required to design and construct plant (preliminary designs,
process flow sheets, and regulatory requirements are available). |
| Technology has been developed under several U.S. government R&D
grants. |
| Adherent has constructed and operated pilot-scale reactors. |
| In process of developing detailed conceptual plan for commercialization. |
| The key to the success of this project is processing large volumes of
scrap using existing size-reduction, mining, and chemical handling
technologies integrated with Adherent’s unique catalytic polymer chemistry
expertise. |
Payoff
| Process recovers base and precious metals and generates liquid hydrocarbon
fuel suitable for operating a co-generation plant; specialty chemicals are
also generated. |
| Economic model developed based upon process, equipment, and operating
costs indicates projected annual revenue of $32 million per plant based upon
an initial investment of $24 million. |
| An anticipated annual profit of $5 to $6 million per plant employing over
45 people. |
