Reclamation of Gallium, Indium and Rare-Earth Elements from Photovoltaics, Solid-State Lighting and Electronics Waste (RECLAIM)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
Prospective global supply and demand for gallium, indium and other key metals show an increasing discrepancy, amongst others due to the explosive growth of green technologies such as photovoltaics (PV) and solid-state lighting (SSL). While their primary production is highly controlled by a few countries, recycling systems to reclaim these materials from discarded products are not yet in place. Thi ...

Towards an innovative galvanic industry (TIGI)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,
"Emulsion pertraction technology (EPT) is introduced for the galvanic industry in Europe. With innovative EPT 8000 of the metal platers in Europe enhance the lifetime of the passivating baths from 6 weeks to 2 years. In this way the galvanic industry can cope with the following problems: environmental -, economical issues, and drain of work to low wages countries. The proposed project has the foll ...

Emulsion Pertraction for Europe (Empereur)
Start date: Nov 1, 2003, End date: Jun 30, 2006,
Background
The EU metal plating industry discards about 420 million litres of contaminated passivating bath liquid every year, resulting in the production of 40,000 tonnes of toxic metal sludge waste. Current technology carries a major environmental problem: the estimated replacement chemical costs are â¬168 million and the treatment and disposal costs a ...
