Evaluation of solvent swelling pre-treatment combined with ammonia leaching using waste etchant from printed circuit board manufacturing for copper recovery from waste printed circuit boards
Electronic waste (e-waste) has emerged as a rapidly growing waste stream, growing at a global rate of 2 Mt per annum and is expected to exceed 74 Mt by 2030. E-waste contains a high content of precious and base metals which can be recovered for economic benefit. This has made the recycling of this …
