Advances in hydrometallurgical approaches for gold recovery from E-waste: A comprehensive review and perspectives

Minh Huy Do et al.

Summary: Increasing e-waste generation has caused great concern in the environment. The recovery of gold from e-waste is of great importance due to its economic value and sustainability. Although hydrometallurgy has succeeded in recovering gold using different technical approaches, it is still challenging to develop a complete technology for widespread application. Future research should focus on selecting sustainable and efficient hydrometallurgical approaches for gold recovery from e-waste.

Exfoliation of coarse printed circuit boards using dimethylacetamide: Production of copper concentrates

Kai Dean Kang et al.

Summary: This study investigates value recovery using coarse printed circuit boards (PCBs) through organic swelling pre-treatment. The experiment demonstrates the effectiveness of organic swelling in causing cracks and delamination in the multi-layered structure of the PCBs. Copper concentrate with high copper contents can be obtained by performing organic swelling for coarse PCBs. The weakened PCBs after organic swelling can be subjected to a less energy-intensive mechanical method to yield embedded copper foils.

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.

Economic potential of recycling e-waste in India and its impact on import of materials

Rohit Panchal et al.

Summary: The circular economy promotes material recirculation for pollution prevention. This study estimates e-waste generation in India and determines the economic potential of recovering common, precious, and critical raw materials embedded in WEEE. The analysis shows that WEEE recycling can reduce dependency on critical raw material imports from other countries.

Understanding the gap between formal and informal e-waste recycling facilities in India

Deblina Dutta et al.

Summary: Informal sectors in India handle 95% of e-waste recycling, while challenges faced by the formal sector include lack of awareness and insufficient collection centers. The current e-waste handling capacity in India is inadequate and needs to be enhanced to meet the estimated minimum requirement.

Evaluation of soil contamination due to crude E-waste recycling activities in the capital city of India

Shashi Arya et al.

Summary: The informal E-waste recycling sites in India, particularly in Delhi, are causing significant soil contamination with heavy metals exceeding WHO limits. Urgent actions are needed to control the situation, with phytoremediation and bioremediation being recommended to combat the accumulation of hazardous materials at contaminated sites.
