UNIVAQ’s bio-hydrometallurgical process

The main activities of UNIVAQ within the FENIX project are focused on development of bio-hydrometallurgical processes for the recovery of base and precious metals from different streams of electrical and electronic equipments. These processes, being easily scaled-up and controlled at larger level, have been firstly developed at laboratory level and, […]

POLIMI’s semi-automated PCB disassembly station

POLIMI’s activities within the FENIX project are focusing on a semi-automated PCB disassembly process implemented at the Industry 4.0 Lab, aiming to demonstrate in practice benefits of exploiting I4.0 technologies (e.g. collaborative robots – cobots) in circular contexts (e.g. WEEE management). The disassembly of PCBs is a key process withn […]
