9-Tech is a new innovative start-up that studies and prototypes new processes and pilot plants in the context of circular economy, in particular technology for the recovery of strategic metals from e-waste. Several promising types of research were performed in laboratories of the University of Padova (PV panels recycling, PCBs recycling recovery of Neodymium from permanents magnets, Recovery of Tantalum from end-of-life capacitors), and they should be tested at a pilot scale before reaching industrial applications.
