An increase in the level of production and consumption of polyvinyl chloride leads to the formation of a large volume of chlorinated waste mostly as a component of municipal plastics waste. Incineration of such waste to produce energy results in emission of toxic gases (SO2 NOx) and of heavy metals and solid particles with flue gases and also in formation of polychlorinated dibenzodioxins
The consumption of copper in the United States now approaches some 2 million tonnes per year.5 Although much of the copper collected for recycling may be present in a form that is relatively pure such as factory scrap or copper that is in a clean metallic state (No. 1 copper scrap or No. 2 copper scrap) large amounts are present as a lower
Rare earth elements (REEs) commonly referred to as ‘Seed of Technology’ have spread over the canvas of modern technology. Its consumption is increasing rapidly due to rising demand for smart electronics energy-efficient lighting catalyst electric vehicles and green energy sector. It is impossible to meet this growing demand of REEs from the limited global reserve and also due to low
the smelter for electronic waste is best described as a copper bullion due to the high copper content found in PCBs. The copper can be separated by leaching and recovered by electro-winning leaving a residue of precious metals for further re ning (see later). The smelting process is

Recycle. Recycling converts used items back into raw materials which are then used in making new products. "Recycle" comes third after "Reduce" and "Reuse " because recycling requires new resources for transportation and the manufacturing process. Nevertheless the economic and environmental benefits are significant.
1. Introduction. There is increasing worldwide concern in relation to the impact of the large tonnages of waste plastic on the environment 1 2 .In response there has been a marked rise in the collection and recycling of waste plastics for example in Europe in 2018 29.1 million tonnes of waste plastics were collected with 32.5 recycled 42.6 used for energy recovery (mainly incineration
Dry sorting processes apply mechanical (sieves) or electrostatic forces or they sort by means of spectroscopic detection systems. Sieves or air classifiers are applied to reduce the amount of fine particles in waste plastic fractions since the fines contain small metal particles from grinding processes and dust collected on plastic surfaces in the use or reclamation phase.
When mono-incinerated still a rare practice in Europe the ashes (MBMA) mostly comprise Ca 5 (PO 4) 3 OH and Ca 3 (PO 4) 2 and have a composition closely reminiscent to that of PR exhibiting P contents as high as 15–19 with similar or lower heavy metal content. 54 As such MBMA is a prime candidate for P recycling and there are numerous
The consumption of copper in the United States now approaches some 2 million tonnes per year.5 Although much of the copper collected for recycling may be present in a form that is relatively pure such as factory scrap or copper that is in a clean metallic state (No. 1 copper scrap or No. 2 copper scrap) large amounts are present as a lower grade material which means that they are associated with other metals ceramics or plastics.
Although the benefits have not been quantified plastics recycling also offers the potential to generate demonstrable savings in fossil fuel consumption both because the recycled plastics can supplement and even compete with ‘’ resins produced from refined fossil fuel and because the energy required to yield recycled plastics may be less than that consumed in the production of the same resins from feedstocks . Therefore plastics waste recycling
The plastics in a car can also be recycled in three ways as parts chemical components or fuel. Cars may be repaired using old plastic parts such as bumpers. As the parts get older however their characteristics change making them inappropriate for reuse solar radiation for example makes most plastics
More and more plastics wastes are generated by industry and ers. Statistics shows that plastics waste in municipal solid waste (MSW) in the USA reached 13.2 million metric tons in 1988 and it comprised 8 of MSW by weight (21 by volume) 1 2.In fact plastics waste has become one of the larger categories in MSW particularly in industrialized countries as shown in Table 1.
The first stage in the recycling of metal is its separation from other materials. The difficulty of separation increases with lower concentrations of metal in the source. Pieces of an individual metal (e.g. copper wires in cables) are easiest to recycle while metals thinly distributed in products (e.g. copper in printed circuit boards) require
The wide use of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) has created much waste which has become a global issue. It is vital to recycle waste LIBs considering their environmental risks and resource characteristics. Anode graphite from spent LIBs still possess a complete layer structure and contain some oxygen-containing groups between layers which can be reused to prepare high value-added products.
Because the copper contained in the waste cables is of high purity and its recycling energy consumption is low waste cables have become an important source of raw materials for the reclaimed copper industry. Therefore the recycling of waste cables has become an important component of the development of urban minerals.
Copper recoveries of 75 85 CuT were obtained after 180–250 days of total leaching time depending on the copper grade the mineralogical composition and the acid consumption of the ore
Recycling plastics encompasses four phases of activity namely collection separation processing/manufacturing and marketing. Because only using clean homogeneous resins can produce the highest-quality recycled plastic products in the existing secondary process (material recycling) and high-value chemical products in the existing tertiary process (feedstock recycling) an effective
