摘要
E-waste is the fastest growing solid waste in the world. Each year, over 50 million tonnes of e-waste are produced, with its rate increasing by 3-5 % annually. Currently, only 17 % of e-waste is properly recycled, leaving the majority managed unsustainably, thereby causing detrimental environmental and economic effects. Cleaner e-waste management technologies are essential to address this urgent and rapidly expanding issue. Precious metals within e-waste significantly contribute to recycling revenues. In this paper, we review state-of-the-art technologies for sustainable recycling and upcycling of these metals from e-waste, including cleaner extractive metallurgy, solution purification technologies, and direct synthesis of green nanomaterials. We also discuss the potential impacts and constraints of these technologies and provide recommendations for improving and implementing both existing and prospective technologies.
