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. This book covers policies, research, development and challenges in recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). After introducing WEEE management, environmental, economic, and societal applications of e-waste recycling, this book focuses on the technical challenges, including physical separation processes, pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes, for designing efficient and sustainable recycling processes.
