Plastic components from waste mobile phones were sorted and characterized using visual, spectroscopic and thermal methods. The mechanical properties of the recovered plastics were investigated by comparing with commercially used reference materials. The results revealed the practical feasibility of these recovered plastics to make new products thro...

... were free from any kind of brominated flame retardants. The parts with generic markings can reveal the information regarding flame retardants type and quantity. It was observed in the current study that the parts which had generic markings showed no sign of BFRs. To ensure the absence of BFRs in the parts without, they were analyzed using GC/MS. Fig. 5 shows the ion chromatograms obtained for the different samples. The results were matched with mass spectral reference library (NIST2011.L) for brominated flame retardants. The search was run for all brominated compounds from di-bromo to deca-bromo ...
