“…It has been reported that CuO and Cu 2 O were formed during supercritical water oxidation treatment of waste PCBs [19,32], but crystalline phases of these copper compounds were not found in this study when the waste PCBs and PVC were co-treated at 200°C and 400°C. The diffraction spectra in Fig.…”

h i g h l i g h t sWe report an effective process for co-treatment of waste PCBs and PVC. Brominated flame retardants can be decomposed efficiently in co-treatment. Dechlorination of PVC was complete and safe. Cu and Pb in waste printed circuit boards can be recovered efficiently. Sn and Cr can be immobilized efficiently in the residue after co-treatment. t r a c tIn this work, an effective process for removal of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and recovery of Cu and Pb from waste printed circuit boards (PCBs) was developed. In the process, waste PCBs and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were co-treated by subcritical water oxidation (SBWO). PVC was used as a hydrochloric acid source and waste PCBs was used as a neutralizing reagent for the produced HCl. The dechlorination of PVC, removal of BFRs, and recovery of Cu and Pb could be achieved simultaneously by the one-step SBWO reaction. Experimental results showed that the dechlorination of PVC was complete when SBWO temperature exceeded 250°C. SBWO co-treatment was high efficient for the leaching of Cu and Pb from waste PCBs, and XRD spectra indicated that Sn was immobilized as SnO 2 in the residue after co-treatment. The optimum SBWO co-treatment conditions were temperature of 350°C, time of 60 min, solidliquid ratio of 1:9 g/ml, and PVC-to-PCBs ratio of 1:1, respectively. In the optimized co-treatment, 98.9% of Cu and 80% of Pb were recovered, while the leaching efficiencies of Sn and Cr were 15.3% and 3.9%, respectively. Meanwhile, approximately 100% of the bromine was changed into HBr and enriched in water after co-treatment.

“…7 One further advantage is the capability to easily form composite materials, introducing crucial properties to the host matrix, such as catalytic functionality, material strengthening and tuning of electrical properties. [8][9][10][11][12] Nanoparticle-polymer composite materials can be achieved through a range of techniques, the simplest of which is direct integration of the desired nanoparticles during the fabrication of the host matrix. 13,14 This results in a homogenous material with an even spacing of nanoparticulate material throughout.…”

The fabrication of polymer-nanoparticle composites is extremely important in the development of many functional materials. Identifying the precise composition of these materials is essential, especially in the design of surface catalysts, where the surface concentration of the active component determines the activity of the material. Antimicrobial materials which utilize nanoparticles are a particular focus of this technology. Recently swell encapsulation has emerged as a technique for inserting antimicrobial nanoparticles into a host polymer matrix. Swell encapsulation provides the advantage of localizing the incorporation to the external surfaces of materials, which act as the active sites of these materials. However, quantification of this nanoparticle uptake is challenging. Previous studies explore the link between antimicrobial activity and surface concentration of the active component, but this is not directly visualized. Here we show a reliable method to monitor the incorporation of nanoparticles into a polymer host matrix via swell encapsulation. We show that the surface concentration of CdSe/ZnS nanoparticles can be accurately visualized through cross-sectional fluorescence imaging. Using this method, we can quantify the uptake of nanoparticles via swell encapsulation and measure the surface concentration of encapsulated particles, which is key in optimizing the activity of functional materials.
