From the old motherboards - strong building materials

Chinese scientists have developed a new way of processing old computer components. The technology allows you to make from shredded motherboards environmentally friendly and extremely reliable materials that will be useful in construction.



Previously, only copper and aluminum were recycled from printed circuit boards, and they did not know what to do with the metal-free residue. It turned out that this powder can be used to make ready-made tiles or products of other shapes that are ideal, for example, for the production of urban benches, and not only them. They are obtained by spraying powder with the addition of a small amount of rubber and subsequent pressing under temperature. On the strength of such products are not inferior to concrete, and in operation significantly superior to it.

Of course, in addition to the motherboard for processing, you can send other components with printed circuit boards, that is, all consumer electronics and computer peripherals. The amount of "electronic" garbage has been growing at an alarming rate lately. True, printed circuit boards make up only 3%, but this problem is very topical.
