A closed and zero-waste loop strategy to recycle the main raw materials (gold, copper and fiber glass layers) constitutive of waste printed circuit boards

Paulo M. S. Sousa et al.

Summary: The main aim of this work was to develop a simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly technology for recycling all main raw materials [gold, copper and fiber glass (FG) layers] from waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs). The process involved mechanical cutting, delamination, magnetic separation, leaching, and alkaline precipitation to separate and purify the different materials.

Circular economy and household e-waste management in India: Integration of formal and informal sectors

Diyasha Sengupta et al.

Summary: E-waste is one of the fastest growing solid waste streams, and India is the third largest e-waste generating country. However, the formal e-waste recycling rate in India is less than 10%. Informal e-waste collectors and value recovery operations handle a significant portion of e-waste, but their methods pose severe threats to human health and the environment. Improvements are needed in both formal and informal e-waste collection and value recovery operations to establish a more sustainable industry.

Assessment of Pre-Treatment Techniques for Coarse Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) Recycling

Kai Dean Kang et al.

Summary: The generation of e-waste has been increasing rapidly over the past few decades, posing challenges in waste management and value recovery, especially in developing countries. The research on pre-treatment techniques for coarse PCB particles, including thermal, mechanical, chemical, and electrical methods, has provided new insights for metal and non-metal separation. Integrated flowsheets derived from thermal, mechanical, and chemical pre-treatments offer novel approaches for efficient value recovery operations.

Efficient extraction of metals from thermally treated waste printed circuit boards using solid state chlorination: Statistical modeling and optimization

Ramdayal Panda et al.

Summary: This study successfully developed an environmentally-friendly method for extracting valuable metals from waste printed circuit boards using low temperature solid state chlorination followed by water leaching. The process was able to extract copper and gold, as well as other valuable metals, at optimized conditions, showing potential for a closed-loop metal extraction process. Compared to traditional pyrometallurgical processes, this method operates at lower temperatures without producing toxic fumes and is able to extract over 90% of the total metal content.
