The vapor-deposited or electroplated coatings are usually composed of a plurality of nickel- and chromium-containing layers, which are applied to copper-containing carrier layers on the polymers. Previously, recycling processes are mainly focussed at the recovery or thermal utilization of the plastics. Targeted and selective recycling of the metallic coatings is usually not carried out. Together with several SME, BTU developed a process, in which a complete and separate recovery of all components in high purity is possible with biotechnological methods. The bioleaching is carried out with iron and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, esp. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. The copper-containing layers are dissolved in the solution; chromium- and nickel-containing particles are precipitated as solids. After the bioleaching, a mechanical separation of the individual metal-containing components and their separate workup are carried out. End-products are metallic copper, a nickel- and chromium-containing solid and the cleaned plastics. The bioleaching ensures a high purity of the end products. Through the use of bacteria, which are also found in nature, the process is environmentally friendly. Compared to chemical leaching using inorganic acids, considerably shorter leaching times can be achieved. In addition to the optimization of the leaching process, the R/D-project also includes the development and testing of the apparatus technology.

This model is based on the information gathered from modeled ternary phase diagrams, namely PSO, PSL, PSLl and OLLl, that were based on experimental binary phase diagrams of all possible combinations of these fatty acids. These experimental binary phase diagrams were obtained by means of differential scanning calorimetry and mathematical function fitting, within which the eutectic region of binary palmitic/stearic with oleic/linoleic/linolenic acid was investigated in detail. The basic mathematical model used was previously shown in literature which delivered good results for such systems. The importance of the developed model was then justified by investigations on real and composed synthetic fatty acid mixtures, where a high accuracy of the predicted temperatures could be shown for the technically relevant liquidus and solidus temperatures. A satisfying prediction for thermal events below the first solidus line could be reached as well. This work directly contributes to an enhanced understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic background of such important mixtures applied in diverse products and industries, thereby showing a large optimization potential for crystallization technologies.

The latter possesses double bonds which can provide as substrates or raw materials for various chemical industries.[3] Fractionation of these oils or as in our case the Poly-Unsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA) mixture is required so as to generate favorable compositions according to applications. Generation of Solid Liquid Equilibrium (SLE) phase diagrams for real mixtures is extremely important to enable a thorough understanding of the thermodynamics of the fractionation process of crystallization. The PUFA mixture was fractionated in a multistage scrubbing layer crystallizer. The product was put into a decanter centrifuge so as to fractionate them into mother liqor and crystal fraction. The temperature in the jacket was maintained such that △T< 5K from the liquidus point obtained from the Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) thermal analyses. Each crystallizer was also maintained at a temperature 5K below the previous one. This way a slow and successive cooling of the PUFA was achieved such that probes from different fraction could be obtained. They were analyzed thermally and chemically in the DSC and Gas Chromatography – Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID) setup respectively.[4] Similar to previous literature as in [5], technically relevant partial SLE diagrams for high oleic palm oil was created by fractionating the mixture in a scrubbed layer crystallizer along with their metastable range were determined.[6] Y1 - 2017 PB - Abiosus e.V.
