Learning Objectives

The aims of this package are as follows:

To gain an understanding of why recycling is used and useful in today’s economy.
To explore the huge diversity of ways in which materials science contributes to the process of recycling, relating key concepts to applications within this area.
To engage and promote an interest in the progress and the potential for expansion in this vital area.

Before you start

You should be familiar with the scientific concepts of:
- Phase Diagrams
- Pourbaix Diagrams
- Ellingham Diagrams
- Electrochemistry,
- Materials Thermodynamics and Kinetics.
It is possible to learn from this package without this knowledge, although it is primarily aimed at linking fundamental materials science concepts with the recycling process.
