WEEE Recycling: Research, Development, and Policies

WEEE Recycling: Research, Development, and Policies covers policies, research, development, and challenges in recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The book introduces WEEE management and then covers the environmental, economic, and societal applications of e-waste recycling, focusing on the technical challenges to designing efficient and sustainable recycling processes-including physical separation, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgical processes. The development of processes for recovering strategic and critical metals from urban mining is a priority for many countries, especially those having few available ores mining. Describes the two metallurgical processes-hydro- and pyro-metallurgy-and their application in recycling of metalsProvides a life cycle analysis in the WEEE recycling of metalsOutlines how to determine economic parameters in the recycling of waste metalsDiscusses the socio economic and environmental implication of metal recycling INDICE: 1. Waste electrical and electronic equipment take-back schemes 2. Dynamic representation of the stocks and fluxes of metals in the economy 3. Physical separation processes in WEEE recyclinghe recovery of metals from WEEE 4. Electrostatic Separation of Metals and Plastics from WEEE 5. Pyrometallurgical processes for the recovery of metals from WEEE 6. Hydrometallurgical processes for the recovery of metals from WEEE 7. Lifecycle analyses in WEEE recycling
