Abstract:
The bromine industry wants to process plastic Waste from Electrical andElectronic Equipment (WEEE), containing brominated flame retardants (BFRs),
to recycle bromine, antimony, and other valuable metals, with energy recovery
for sustainable production and closing the bromine loop at the End-of-Life.
The motivation to perform the underlying study was that insufficient detailed
information was available regarding the technical and economical feasibility
of processing of WEEE with thermal processes (i.e. combustion, gasification,
and pyrolysis-based technologies). The objective of the study was to make an
inventory of available processes and evaluate them based on the following six
criteria:Energy efficiency, Bromine and Antimony recovery, Emissions
(legislation permits), General quality of residues/secondary products,
Operational experience, and Profit expectations (ROI). 57 refs.
