Abstract:

Wastes from electrical - electronic equipment (WEEE) are of huge concerns worldwide. With the decreasing life cycle of most electrical - electronic equipment (EEE), the WEEE growth rate is fast, about 3÷5% annually. This is considered as the fastest growing waste stream among municipal wastes. WEEE contains, in addition to plastic, glass etc., high contents of base metals and precious metals. They are regarded as potential secondary resources of metals in addition to primary resources of metals from metallic ores. Over the past decades, many metal recycling technologies from WEEE have been developed including physical separation processes and chemical extraction processes. This article summarizes the characteristics, recycling principles, separation processes and optimal operating conditions of the world's most currently common technologies for metal recycling from WEEE. So that one can derive new directions for metal recycling from electrical - electronic wastes in the Vietnam case.
