Introduction
In this webinar, hear from the Institute of General and Analytical Chemistry research team at Montanuniversität Leoben (MUL) in Austria. Speakers will outline their research work on identifying and quantifying TCEs (Technology Critical Elements) found in electronic waste. These critical elements, essential for modern technology, pose significant recycling challenges but also offer opportunities for both industrial and environmental growth. MUL’s research contributes to EU initiatives such as the EU Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan, aiming to scale up e-waste recycling processes to meet Europe’s sustainability goals. Join the discussion to see how PerkinElmer’s analytical instruments and supporting solutions help to tackle these issues.
Whether you're a scientist, researcher, chemical engineer or environmental regulator, we can help you to confidently test the TCEs that are integral to both recycling industries and environmental monitoring.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
- Define and understand TCEs (Technology Critical Elements) in the academic and governmental landscape
- Learn about sampling challenges from e-waste sources such as smartphones, batteries and PCBs
- Learn how to identify and measure metal contamination in urban green spaces
- Get an overview of key elemental analysis techniques such as ICP-MS and ICP-OES for field and laboratory work
- Learn novel mass spec methodologies: Nitrous Oxide and Gas Cell Interaction studies
