  1. So I am not very good in chemistry, but I have been wanting to find a way to recycle circuit boards, and I would love help to find an efficient way to do this. To what I understand, the primary metals in circuit boards (dependent on location) are: copper tin lead silver gold aluminum With trace amounts of (to what I have heard) platinum palladium Other molecules bromine, Phosphorus, and silicon resin (for solder work) carbon ceramics plastics fiber glass "cyanate ester" Teflon and probably a bunch more that I can't think of =/ The primay goal of this project is to be able to find a way to recycle circuitboards so that heavy metals and such don't get dumped into land fills, and so that we don't have to re-mine all the resources over and over. The things I would worry about the most would be the plastics, teflon, metals, silicon, bromine, phosphorus, and cyanate.
  2. So I am not much of a chemistry person, so sadly I don't know if this is a simple or super complex question. What I am wondering is how to calculate the strength between two atoms in a simple molecule, like in H2O, CO2, AlO, FeO2 ect... and I have no idea where to start at all as I have taken only one chemistry course :( I was hoping that I would be able to understand how much heat or electricity is required to break a bond in one of these through this calculation. basically electrolyzing the oxygen/other away from the molecule system.
  3. I was recently diagnosed with an auto immune disease (sadly this is my second and I am guessing that I will collect another later on down the road). I have heard that the immune system is linked with cancer and other diseases, and I was hoping on doing some research to try and understand exactly what is going on with me and anyone with cancer. Any ideas where to start?
