Preface
Expanding the rate of market infiltration, financial development and fast mechanical
progression prompt the monstrous age of electronic waste in the habitat. The
absence of awareness and coarse treatment of e-waste causes a worldwide threat.
E-waste is a famous casual name for electronic items generated after their helpful
life. Computers, televisions, video cameras, recorders, stereos, copiers and fax
machines are some of the regular electronic items being generated as e-waste. A
number of items may be reused after giving a face-lift. However, with quick changing advancements and consistent buyer interest for the most recent gadgets, the
ascent in e-waste looks set to proceed. Indeed, the purchasers may play an essential
role by picking items that are less perilous and are intended for more secure reusing.
On the other hand, the e-waste management networks may be set up to guarantee
the collection of inappropriately surrendered or censured items and outdated or broken electrical or electronic gadgets. It is obvious that the e-waste items, which are
generated and not managed properly, contaminate nature, making it inadmissible
for human home. On the other hand, the progression of advancements has decreased
the life cycle of electronic items. Thus, the rate to outdated old items increases progressively. Thus, it is very necessary to be aware of the e-waste world and its impact
on the global habitat of the species. In view of that, this book is planned to provide
a comprehensive literature on the global e-waste recycling and management. This
book is divided into 12 chapters as given below:
Chapter 1 explores the status of a cathode-ray tube disposal and environmental
issues followed by potential challenges of segregating funnel and panel glass of
cathode-ray tube. Separation of funnel and panel glass from the cathode-ray tube
based on open-loop and closed-loop process is discussed with pros and cons.
Chapter 2 includes a description of methods of disassembly focused on e-waste
recycling in compliance with environmental standards. The required steps of the
end-of-life products disassembly vary depending on the category of waste equipment. To show these differences, the chapter includes two case studies showing the
configuration of a layout of e-waste processing lines with possible options to reconfigure them. The variants of the system’s configuration depend on the volume of the
waste stream, labour cost and required purity of output materials. Economic
