In this process, VVF power cables are placed in a glass reactor and subjected to microwave radiation. The pyrolysis carbonizes the PVC insulation, exposing the copper wire for easy recovery while ...

Researchers from Università di Pavia in Italy and Sophia University in Japan have created a novel microwave-induced pyrolysis technique that offers an economical and effective means of recycling ...

A Japan-Italy research team say they have developed a simple and convenient method for recovering copper wires from PVC cables that involves the use of microwave radiation and avoids the generation or ...
