Application of thermodynamic modelling and experimental investigation of leaching yttrium from liquid crystal display

Thermodynamic modelling, experiment, measurement, and characterization technique were used to evaluate the leaching process of yttrium (Y) elements from liquid crystal display (LCD) electronic waste (e-waste). Thermodynamic modelling using HSC 6.0 software revealed that the reaction of leaching out...
