Recycling using supercritical fluids | CNRS in English

Whether trainers, solar panels, or batteries, some objects are very difficult to recycle since they are made of multiple layers of various materials… At the ICMCB laboratory in Bordeaux (southwestern France) a team of scientists uses supercritical fluids to separate their different elements. This is a field at the interface between the solid and gaseous domains where materials display astonishing properties.

With the participation of:
Cyril Aymonier (CNRS), Jacob Olchowka (CNRS) et Thomas Voisin (IDELAM) from ICMCB laboratory in Bordeaux (CNRS / Polytechnic Institute of Bordeaux / Bordeaux University)

I used to work as a supplier to various CNRS labs of hard-to-find sophisticated materials.

Why am I not offered such CNRS videos in French?

Allez, zou!
