Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this study, an efficient rough vacuum-chlorinated separation method was developed for the recovery of indium from waste liquid crystal display (LCD) panels using NHCl as the chlorinating agent. High purity In O and SnO were firstly investigated in a rough vacuum, air and nitrogen atmosphere. The results indicated that the rough vacuum atmosphere could increase the recovery ratio of indium and reduce the influence of tin simultaneously. Moreover, the indium chloride and NH Cl can be selectively recovered under different condensing temperatures, and the thermodynamic principle of the recovery method was analyzed. Conditions of 400°C, 10 min, rough vacuum atmosphere (0.09 MPa) and sufficient NHCl (molar Cl/In ratio of 6) were confirmed as the optimal conditions by pure substance experiments. The waste LCD glass powder was used to recover indium. The weight ratio of NHCl to glass powder and the optimum particle size were confirmed as 1:2 and less than 0.13 mm, respectively. The pure indium chloride was successfully recovered from the waste LCD panels using this method, and the recovery percentage of indium and the purity of indium chloride are 98.02 and 99.50%, respectively. This work presented a promising technology for the cyclic regeneration of the precious metal indium from waste LCD panels. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
