Abstract

Over the years, the amount of electrical and electronic equipment is growing at great rate due to higher levels of disposable income, urbanization and industrialization in many countries. There are many elements of industrial and strategic importance in the e-waste, being a technological source of resources for recovery. Analytical techniques are used to characterization these materials. The goal of this project is the use Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) as alternative technique for hard disk (HD) printed circuit board (PCB) analysis, which have in its composition precious elements. For propose a reliable analytical method using LIBS, chemometrics tools are indispensable. Therefore, the study of different and complex chemometric models is necessary. The combination the features of LIBS (no sample preparation, high analytical frequency and multivariate nature) and power of chemometrics produce satisfactory results for PCB chemical composition determination.
