Microwave-Mediated Extraction of Critical Metals from LED E-Waste

Microwave-Mediated Extraction of Critical Metals from LED E-Waste

This study introduces a microwave-assisted technique for extracting critical minerals from LED electronic waste. The process begins with microwave irradiation, which thermally decomposes the LED’s plastic lens into a brittle, charred residue. During this stage, the LED chip undergoes deflagration—be...
