Waste electrical and electronic equipments as urban mines in Burkina Faso: Characterization and release of metal particles

Francis O. Konate et al.

Summary: Burkina Faso is a popular destination for second-hand electrical and electronic equipment, which contains various metals and polymers. The release of metals is most efficient for particles smaller than 0.71 mm. Among the digestion methods experimented, microwave-assisted digestion method is the most effective for metals leaching. These equipments contain significant amounts of precious and other metals, making them valuable for recovery. Granulometric size reduction does not effectively separate and recover metals from PCBs, alternative methods for selective precious metal recovery should be explored.

From inequitable to sustainable e-waste processing for reduction of impact on human health and the environment

Balazs Adam et al.

Summary: The recycling of electronic waste worldwide is a massive operation, with a majority of waste not being properly managed and impacting human health and the environment. There is a need to address current management practices and emerging threats, as well as propose adequate interventions like independent surveillance and developing better recycling processes. Collaboration among international agencies, industries, and stakeholders is crucial for transitioning to more sustainable e-waste management solutions and minimizing adverse effects.

HPTLC and FTIR Fingerprinting of Olive Leaves Extracts and ATR-FTIR Characterisation of Major Flavonoids and Polyphenolics

Snezana Agatonovic-Kustrin et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that fermentation significantly improves the extraction of phenolic compounds and flavonoids from olive leaves, leading to increased antioxidant activity in the extracts. The release of lactic acid and the presence of glycine in olive leaves form a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) with increased solubility for flavonoids.

The electrochemical redox mechanism and antioxidant activity of polyphenolic compounds based on inlaid multi-walled carbon nanotubes-modified graphite electrode

Xiaofen Li et al.

Summary: The electrochemical redox mechanism of polyphenolic compounds was investigated on multi-walled carbon nanotubes-modified graphite electrode, with compounds showing lower oxidation peak potential exhibiting stronger antioxidation activity. The greater the number of hydroxyls linked to the aromatic ring, the stronger the antioxidation activities of the compounds. Multiple hydroxyl substitutions and conjugations determine the free radical scavenging activity and electrochemical behavior of these phenolic-based compounds.
