Improving urban mining practices for optimal recovery of resources from e-waste
Open accessAbstract
Abstract In this article, current progress in urban mining related to e-waste recycling is reviewed and associated state-of-the-art recycling technologies are evaluated. As sufficient volume of e-waste is a limiting factor for its recycling economy, the need for the establishment of effective e-waste collection mechanisms, particularly for small sized End-of-Life (EoL) devices, is emphasized in terms of the need for effective government policies, increased public awareness, economic incentives, establishing industry-funded co-regulatory agreements, etc. Feasible options for e-waste recycling through pyro- and hydro-metallurgical process routes are reviewed. Deficiencies in e-waste recycling chains are highlighted, and recommendations to improve the current very low collection rate of small sized EoL devices such as mobile phones are made. Optimization of the recovery of the critical metals and energy through different processing options is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
