Near to two decade after the Basel Convention (BC) under United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), most of the nations are still working for Waste Electrical and JIBC December 2011, Vol. 16, No.3 2 Electronic Equipment (WEEE) or E-waste disposal programme. The Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal is the most comprehensive global environm...

The trend of increased use lithium-ion batteries, challenges the cost-effectiveness and safety manual battery separation during end-of-life treatment Waste Electric Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Therefore, need for novel techniques to separate sort batteries from WEEE is increasingly important. For this reason, presented research investigates potential facilitate development extraction sorting b...

There has been major interest in Lead-free soldering within the electronics assembly industry for the last several years, and this will continue with the agreement on the language and implementation dates of the WEEE/ROHS legislation in the EU. This paper will focus on several topics critical to the implementation of lead-free soldering. These topics include the impact of Tin-silver-copper as t...

More than 200 kg real waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) shredder residues from a German dismantling plant were treated at 650 °C in demonstration scale thermochemical conversion plant. The focus within this work was the generation, purification, analysis of pyrolysis oil. Subsequent filtration fractional distillation combined to yield basic chemicals high purity. By means distill...

Y ou can tweet all day, but it is hard to distinguish the finest tweets among the noise. After all, there are about 50 million tweets in a single day at Twitter. Coincidentally, that just happens to be the total number of journal articles published in the world since 1665 when Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society was started So which was the best paper ever written? 50 million is far...

In recent years, the linear economic model and global warming have shown that it is necessary to move toward a circular model. this scenario, recycling of waste electrical electronic equipment (WEEE) with green processes one pending tasks; thus, in present review, advances solid–liquid liquid–liquid extraction processes, among most important for recovery metals from ores or WEEE, solvents such ...

Reuse is considered as a priority alternative for the management of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The reason that it thought reuse always has lower environmental impact. However, few studies have evaluated in detail impacts reuse, even fewer analysed cases purpose other than original one. In this study, life cycle assessment (LCA) following ISO 14040 standard, was emplo...

Recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is challenging due to the high variety in both design composition products this waste stream. Therefore, targeted demanufacturing appropriate material sorting processes are crucial, but remain often a manual thus labor-intensive costly activity. Despite first steps towards automation these can be noticed, many them sorting, very few ...
