Chapter 8 addresses the various categories deployed towards effective e-waste
management such as collection, disposal of dangerous portions and recovery of
precious metals and energy. The benefits, challenges and future of e-waste management are also highlighted.
Chapter 9 discusses the methods used for the recycling of the precious metals
obtained from the light-emitting diode industry. These metals are gallium, indium,
rare earth elements like yttrium and cerium and precious metals such as gold and
silver. Some of the most important methods developed for this purpose include
pyrometallurgical (pyrolysis), hydrometallurgical (acid leaching) and biotechnological technologies (microbial leaching).
Chapter 10 discusses the current scenario in the electrical and electronic equipment industry and generation of waste electric and electronic equipment considering the implications of resource management and environment, social and economic
impact in this production chain.
Chapter 11 deals with sustainable electronic waste management implications for
environmental and human health. It is written to explain the electronic waste and
sustainable development goals with electronic waste tracking and driving trends.
The electronic waste statistics and measurement along the side positive and negative
effects of electronic waste are also discussed. Some of the products that make challenges to a recycler are also discussed. Finally, the implications of electronic waste
on human health and the environment discourse with the aim of electronic waste
management are discussed.
Chapter 12 provides a brief insight into the global trends of e-waste generation,
critical issues and challenges associated with e-waste and its effects on environmental and human health. Finally, the chapter highlights the need for sustainable environmental management of e-waste.
