Abstract

The use of electronic waste for the useful purposes is leading a new way for innovation and advancement. In this study of literature review based on the available data obtaining aluminium, copper, gold, iron, nickel, palladium and silver as a recovery from high grade WEEE was modelled by LCA. The pre-treatment of metals on WEE comprise of manual sorting, shredding, magnetic sorting, Eddy-current sorting, air classification and optical sorting. This includes a metallurgical treatment resource in which Kaldo plant, a convertor aisle, a refinery anode and a valuable metal refinery. The treatment of metallurgy illustrated here considered a major environmental savings when credited the environmental load from avoiding production of the similar quantity of metals by mining of ore and refining of ore. In this method resource recovery per tonne is used on high grade WEE which ranges from 2g of palladium to 386 kg of iron.
