Abstract
In 1995, operating under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA)
between Argonne National Laboratory, Wayne Circuits, Inc. and Eichrom Industries,
Inc., a process was devised to treat and recycle printed circuit board waste by Argonne scientists. The purpose of this project was to transfer the knowledge learned about treating this waste that had been developed in the laboratory to an operating pilot unit in service in the Wayne Circuits manufacturing facility. The objective of the study was to gain sufficient operating experience treating plant waste to determine process limitations
and what features would be required to convert the process from pilot-scale to plant operating scale.
