Recovery and Flotation-Based Recycling Potential of Black Mass from Small Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (SWEEE)

Key Points

• The aim is to assess the recovery and recycling potential of black mass derived from small waste electrical and electronic equipment.
• Utilized flotation techniques to separate materials from black mass.
• Conducted analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to evaluate recovery.
• Investigated the composition and potential recycling efficiencies based on the treated samples.
• Identified significant recovery rates of valuable materials from the black mass.
• SEM/EDS analysis revealed the presence of essential elements conducive for recycling.
• Flotation techniques demonstrated efficiency in separating target materials from e-waste.
