| Abstract Scope |
Every day, information and communication technologies contribute to the development of a country, but it also implies an evident increase of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). One of the materials that are not handled, treated and even less controlled correctly within this large group is ABS. A polymer that, in the absence of technical information on its treatment and recovery, has come to generate an environmental problem of great magnitude because they are discarded for lack of interest. Under the need to find an application scope that provides information and basis on the correct treatment for the recovery of ABS, with this investigation got to generating a suitable process to produce ABS pellets, starting from the selection, characterization, and processing by means of a forming process, where a temperature range was analyzed to obtain the best properties. |
