The economically and environmentally sound recovery of engineering thermoplastics from EOL electronics is a challenge to the sustainability of electronics manufacturing. In this paper, we review the technologies to separate and identify pure post-consumer plastics from EOL electronics, which are followed by the comparison of electronic plastics recycling processes and the network models for plastics recycling processes. We also review successful plastics recycling practices for electronics. In addition, further research directions for recycling plastics from EOL electronics are discussed.},

	abstract = {With more accurate simulation models and more efficient algorithms becoming available, the binding constants of an affinity interaction can be obtained from much simpler experiments using capillary electrophoresis. With the enumeration algorithm, all possible combinations of the binding constant and the complex mobility in certain ranges that could result in the experimental migration time of an injected analyte are extracted from a 3-D surface, which depicts the migration times resulting from different values of the binding constant and the mobility of the complex formed between the interacting pair, to form a 2-D curve. When the experimental conditions are changed, the analyte migration time will also change. A new 2-D curve can be constructed from another 3-D surface on the basis of the pairs of binding constants and complex mobility values that could result in the new migration time. Because the true binding constant and complex mobility values have to be the same for both experimental conditions under the same temperature, there has to be a point where both 2-D curves will converge. The coordinates of the converging point give the values for a binding constant and a complex mobility that will fit all 2-D curves generated under certain experimental conditions. p-Nitrophenol is used as the analyte, beta-cyclodextrin is used as the additive, and a one-cell model is used to simulate affinity CE. The experimental conditions that can improve the accuracy of the binding constants are discussed.},

	abstract = {Complementary on-line preconcentration strategies are needed when analyzing different classes of solutes in real samples by capillary electrophoresis (CE) with UV detection. The performance of three different on-line preconcentration (focusing) techniques under alkaline conditions was examined in terms of their selectivity and sensitivity enhancement for a group of steroids, including classes of androgens, corticosteroids and estrogens. Electrokinetic focusing of large sample injection plugs (up to 28\% of effective capillary length or 22.1 cm) directly on-capillary can be tuned for specific classes of steroids based on changes in their mobility (velocity) using a multi-section electrolyte system in CE. A dynamic pH junction was applied for the selective resolution and focusing of weakly acidic estrogens using borate, pH 11.0 and pH 8.0 in the background electrolyte and the sample, respectively. Sweeping, using an anionic bile acid surfactant and neutral gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) under alkaline conditions (pH 8), resulted in focusing and separation of the moderately hydrophobic (non-ionic) classes of steroids, such as androgen and corticosteroids. Optimal focusing and resolution of all test steroids under a single buffer condition was realized by a dynamic pH junction-sweeping format using borate, pH 11.0 and bile acid surfactant with gamma-CD in the BGE, whereas the sample is devoid of surfactant at pH 8.0. The design of selective on-line focusing strategies in CE is highlighted by the analysis of microgram amounts of ethynyl estradiol derived from a female contraceptive pill extract using the dynamic pH junction method, which resulted in over a 100-fold enhancement in concentration sensitivity.

Capillary electrophoresis using borate and cyclodextrins in the background electrolyte was used for determining 11 cellular nucleotides simultaneously. In order to optimize the assay, 0-100\% acetonitrile, 0-100\% ethanol, and 0-100\% methanol in de-ionized water were applied to extract nucleotides from mouse lymphoma cells, and nucleotide yields, recovery, and reproducibility were compared. The assay met the commonly accepted validation limits for biological fluids, if 20-80\% acetonitrile in water and 40-60\% ethanol in water were used as extraction solvents.

The success of the technique was found to depend on the specific nature of the analyte and background electrolyte and was most heavily influenced by factors such as solution conductivity and rate of buffer depletion. The performance of the technique for the system studied was ultimately limited by contamination arising from changes in analyte mobilities during extended run times. Marked improvements in both purification rate and yield were observed using the zwitterionic buffer 2-(N-cyclohexylamino)ethanesulfonic acid when compared to similar runs carried out using a borate background electrolyte. A quantitative evaluation of the technique was performed for the analytes studied and the performance of the technique has been compared to fraction collection methods. The highest recovery achieved was 5.2\% of the fastest migrating component present in the original sample with a resolution of 9 to the adjacent peak and required 100 min under optimized conditions. Recovery could be further increased to 9.0\% in 120 min for the same analyte using pressure-ramped flow-counterbalanced capillary electrophoresis.},

	abstract = {The influence of three univalent salts (LiCl, and RbCl) on the separation of amino acids labelled with 3-(4-carboxybenzoyl)-quinoline-2-carboxaldehyde (CBQCA) in micellar capillary electrophoresis has been studied. Capacity factors for a series of eight CBQCA-labelled amino acids in a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar system containing different concentrations of salt were measured and were found to be related to both the hydrodynamic radius of the salt counter-ion (Li+, Na+, Rb+) and the relative hydrophobicity of the amino acid. Affinities of the analytes for the micelles were generally observed to decrease as the salt concentration in the background electrolyte was increased from 10 to 50 mM. This decrease in affinity was greatest in the presence of the salt counter-ion with the smallest hydrodynamic radius and is primarily due to an increased resistance to mass transfer. Furthermore, interaction of hydrophobic analytes with the micelles is greater than that of hydrophilic analytes at all salt concentrations due to the greater strength of the hydrophobic interactions and this effect is also enhanced in the presence of a smaller counter-ion. No negative effects due to Joule heating or electromigrative dispersion were observed for low to moderate concentrations of salt, which suggests that the use of simple univalent salts to modify analyte/micelle affinities can be a practical method for improving the separation of complex mixtures.},

The equation was used to develop a semiquantitative model to predict the value of orifice voltages that lead to ion fragmentation within this region. This model made it possible to predict the types of solvent adducts observed for analytes at various orifice voltages. In addition, it is shown that a small number of high-energy collisions is equally effective for collision-induced dissociation as compared to a large number of low-energy collisions. Finally, this model is tested with different background electrolyte solutions and a different electrospray mass spectrometer. It is demonstrated that controlled fragmentation studies can be performed on single-quadrupole mass spectrometers, and the proposed model gives a reasonable description of the fragmentation process in both spectrometers.},

	abstract = {A systematic study of selective analyte focusing in a multisection electrolyte system by capillary electrophoresis (CE) is presented. It was found that a dynamic pH junction between sample and background electrolyte zones can be used to focus zwitterionic catecholamines and weakly acidic compounds without the use of special ampholytes. Differences in pH and concentration of complexing agents, such as berate, in the sample and background electrolyte zones were determined to cause focusing through changes in the local velocity of the analyte in two different segments of the capillary. Velocity-differerence induced focusing (V-DIF) of analytes using a dynamic pH junction allowed the injection of large sample volumes and significantly improved the concentration sensitivity of CE. Under optimized conditions, the limit of detection for epinephrine was determined to be about 4 x 10(-8) M (the original sample) with conventional UV absorbance detection. Moreover, separation efficiencies greater than a million theoretical plates can be achieved by focusing such large sample volumes into narrow zones. Multisection electrolyte systems, which lead to the formation of a dynamic pH junction, can be tuned toward improving the concentration sensitivity of specific analytes their chemical properties are known.},

	abstract = {Biomethylation is the major human metabolic pathway for inorganic arsenic, and the speciation of arsenic metabolites is essential to a better understanding of arsenic metabolism and health effects. Here we describe a technique for the speciation of arsenic in human urine and demonstrate its application to the discovery of key arsenic metabolic intermediates, monomethylarsonous acid (MMA(III)) and dimethylarsinous acid (DMA(III)), in human urine. The study provides a direct evidence in support of the proposed arsenic methylation pathway in the human. The finding of MMA(III) and DMA(III) in human urine, along with recent studies showing the high toxicity of these arsenicals, suggests that the usual belief of arsenic detoxification by methylation needs to be reconsidered, The arsenic speciation technique is based on ion pair chromatographic separation of arsenic species on a 3-mum particle size column at 50 degreesC followed by hydride generation atomic fluorescence detection. Speciation of MMA(III), DMA(III), arsenite (As-III), arsenate (As-V), monomethylarsonic acid(MMA(V)), and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA(V)) in urine samples is complete in 6 min with detection limits of 0.5-2 mug/L. There is no need for any sample pretreatment. The capability of rapid analysis of trace levels of arsenic species, which resulted in the findings of the key metabolic intermediates, makes the technique useful for routine arsenic speciation analysis required for toxicological and epidemiological studies.},

The influence of specific analyte properties, such as nucleotide base structure, sugar structure, and degree of phosphorylation, is examined. The pK(a) values and berate complexation with vicinal diols are important factors that caused the focusing. Therefore, the pH and berate content in the sample and background electrolyte can be adjusted to optimize the focusing effect. This method allows the injection of large volumes of sample (similar to 300 nL), resulting in at least 50-fold improvement in concentration sensitivity. The detection limit of 4.0 x 10(-8) M for nucleotides can be achieved in favorable conditions. V-DIF can be also applied to nucleotide pool analysis from cell extracts to improve the concentration sensitivity of CE and to reduce the time-consuming steps of desalting and off-line preconcentration that are often required for assays of nucleotides from biological samples.},

In this paper, equations are derived describing the effect of such additives on the migration behavior of analytes. These equations are used in the study of capillary electrophoresis (CE) systems with differentially charged cyclodextrins as additives. For weakly acidic analytes, the binding with highly negatively charged sulfobutyl ether beta-cyclodextrin (SBE-beta-CD) increases their negative electrophoretic mobility, while the binding with neutral hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) decreases their negative mobility. By obtaining the equilibrium constants and mobilities for each additive with each analyte (in this case, phenol, 2-naphthol and 1-naphthol), the migration behavior of these analytes in CE systems is quantitatively predicted at various concentrations of mixtures of the two additives. The properties of the contour lines in the binding isotherm surfaces of such CE systems are discussed.},

A limiting resolution at half height of 4000 at m/z 59 is possible with operation at the upper tip. This resolution is insufficient to separate atomic ions from molecular ions of the same nominal mass except in favorable cases. However, operation at moderate resolution (R-1/2 = 500 to 1000) is found to give very high abundance sensitivity (>10(7)). The results suggest that the third stability region may be advantageous for specialized applications of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Micro liquid chromatography, which is a relatively new technique, shows a number of advantages for these analyses, especially when interfaced to mass spectrometers. Improved limits of detection, low solvent consumption, reduced amounts of stationary phase, as well as flow-rates easily accommodated by continuous-flow liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry and direct liquid introduction mass spectrometry, are some of the advantages we have observed when fabricating and using these columns. The off-line combination of micro liquid chromatography and electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry improves the limit of detection for arsenic and shows potential for on-line coupling.

	abstract = {A comprehensive theory is proposed to describe the migration behavior of analytes in capillary electrophoresis (CE) when one or more additives are present in the buffer solution. This theory amalgamates and extends the previous work done by others. The capacity factor (k{\textquoteright}) in this theory is defined as the product of the equilibrium constant and the additive concentration, thus, k{\textquoteright} changes linearly with additive concentration, The net electrophoretic mobility of an analyte is a function of k{\textquoteright}, therefore, it can be changed by varying the additive concentration. Three parameters are needed to predict the mobility of an analyte in a one-additive CE system: the mobility of the free analyte, the mobility of the complex, and the equilibrium constant for the analyte-additive interaction (which determines the fraction of the free analyte at different additive concentrations). When additives are used, the change in viscosity obscures this relationship, therefore, a viscosity correction factor is required to convert all mobilities to an ideal state where the viscosity remains constant. The migration behavior of an analyte in a solution with multiple additives can be predicted and controlled, once the equilibrium constants of the interactions between the analyte and each of the additives are obtained separately. beta-Cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin are used as additives and the migration behavior of phenol, p-nitrophenol, and benzoic acid are studied as a model system to verify this theory. When the necessary viscosity correction factor is included, the net electrophoretic mobilities of the analytes obtained from experimental results agree with the values predicted by the theory based on dynamic complexation. Although only experiments with one and two additives were carried out to verify the theory, the equations apply to situations when more than two additives are used. The relationship between the theories of electrophoresis and chromatography is clarified.},

	abstract = {PHOTOFRIN is a complex porphyrin mixture used in the photodynamic therapy of cancer, A nonaqueous buffer with a polyether additive is used in the development of a capillary electrophoresis method for the analysis of this type of compound. This method achieves partial separation of 60 peaks for PHOTOFRIN in 30 min. A methanol-based buffer is used to improve the efficiency of the separation by decreasing the aggregation of porphyrin, and the resolution is improved by using the electroosmotic flow (EOF) to counterbalance the electrophoretic migration of the analytes. This counter-balancing EOF holds the analytes in the electric field longer, thereby improving the resolution, Brij 35 is used as a complexation reagent to adjust the selectivity and improve the efficiency of the separation, The effects that Brij 35 concentration has on the separation of both monomeric and oligomeric porphyrins are discussed. The polarity of the solvent is adjusted through the addition of water and its effect is rationalized. A qualitative fingerprinting method for characterizing PHOTOFRIN is developed, and different batches and stressed samples are studied. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.},

	abstract = {An arsenic specific detection system utilizing on-line microwave digestion and hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (MD/HGAAS) is described for arsenic speciation by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Both ion exchange chromatography and ion pair chromatography have been studied for the separation of arsenite, arsenate, monomethylarsonic acid (MMAA), dimethylarsinic acid (DMAA), and arsenobetaine (AB). When the commonly used mobile phases, phosphate and carbonate buffers at pH 7.5, are used on an anion exchange column, arsenite and AB co-elute. However, selective determination of these two arsenic compounds can be achieved by using the new detection system. Partial separation between arsenite and AB can be achieved by increasing the mobile phase pH to 10.3 and by using a polymer based anion exchange column. The detection limit obtained by using anion exchange chromatography with MD/HGAAS detection is approximately 10 ng/ml (or 200 pg for a 20-mul sample injection) for arsenite, DMAA and AB, 15 ng/ml (or 300 pg) for MMAA, and 20 ng/ml (or 400 pg) for arsenate. Complete separation of the five arsenic compounds is achieved on a reversed phase C18 column by using sodium heptanesulfonate as ion pair reagent. Comparable resolution between chromatographic peaks is obtained by using MD/HGAAS detection and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) detection.},

	abstract = {The stability of ionic binary mixtures is investigated by an integral equation method. In presenting the theory a distinction is made between primary and secondary stability criteria, and this distinction is used to clarify some misconceptions in the literature. The derived stability criteria are then applied to electrolyte solutions as well as to a simple binary mixture. In a simple mixture of hard spheres in wafer, both mechanical and material instabilities are found near the spinodal line along with evidence of long-range hydrophobic forces. Results for the electrolyte solutions indicate that salts with only large ions, such as CsI, and those with a smaller ion, such as Na+ or K+, behave differently near the spinodal line. CsI acts hydrophobicly, and appears to undergo demixing from the solvent, whereas NaCl and KCl, which bind the solvent more tightly, do not show clear signs of any such demixing, but do appear to become mechanically unstable. Finally, some recent results of Chen and Forstmann [J. Chem; Phys. 97, 3696 (1992)] are discussed and applied to the present systems.},
