Abstract:
The process of recovering metals from electronic waste has become an important topic in recent years. In this work, the recovery of electrolytic copper from the ashes produced during the pyrolysis process of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) was sought. Three gravimetric separation equipment were used: Wilfley table, JIG screen, and mechanical screen. This last method was used with and without previous grinding processes. The ashes were initially characterized by XRD to determine the phases present. The initial concentration of the ashes was carried out by physicochemical classification. The results obtained show that the JIG sieve separation processes obtained the best performance, reaching a percentage of about 87% of recovery of the metal present within the WEEE ashes during 16 minutes. The application of a vertical gravimetric separation system on material samples with a fairly wide density difference allowed an optimal separation system for the metallic material and the produced ash. On the other hand, the application of screens in the recovery of the metal obtains values much lower than those obtained by JIG sieve.

Abstract:
In reverse logistics, the accurate prediction of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) return amount is of great significance to guide electronic enterprises to formulate a reasonable recycling plan, remanufacturing production plan and inventory plan. However, due to the uncertainty of WEEE return, it is a challenge to accurately predict the WEEE return amount of recycling sites. Differently from the existing research methods aiming at the spatial correlation of the recycling amount of recycling sites, a spatial mathematical model based on Kriging method is proposed by this paper to predict the return amount of WEEE in reverse logistics. Based on the second-order randomness of the return amount, the spatial structure of the return amount of the recycling network is analyzed. According to the principle of unbiased prediction and minimum variance, the Kriging space mathematical model of WEEE return amount is derived, and the calculation process of three variograms is given. The results of Monte Carlo simulation and the case study on J company in Shanghai show that it is effective to utilize the Kriging method-based spatial mathematical model to predict the WEEE return of reverse logistics and analyze the spatial correlation structure of each recycling site. The proposed model can accurately predict the WEEE return amounts of unknown sites as well as those of the whole area through the known site data, which provides a novel analysis method and theoretical basis for the prediction of reverse logistics return amount.

Abstract:
The technological growth of the last decades has brought many improvements in daily life, but also concerns on how to deal with electronic waste. Electrical and electronic equipment waste is the fastest-growing rate in the industrialized world. One of the elements of electronic equipment is the printed circuit board (PCB) and almost every electronic equipment has a PCB inside it. While waste PCB (WPCB) recycling may result in the recovery of potentially precious materials and the reuse of some components, it is a challenging task because its composition diversity requires a cautious pre-processing stage to achieve optimal recycling outcomes. Our research focused on proposing a method to evaluate the economic feasibility of recycling integrated circuits (ICs) from WPCB. The proposed method can help decide whether to dismantle a separate WPCB before the physical or mechanical recycling process and consists of estimating the IC area from a WPCB, calculating the IC’s weight using surface density, and estimating how much metal can be recovered by recycling those ICs. To estimate the IC area in a WPCB, we used a state-of-the-art object detection deep learning model (YOLO) and the PCB DSLR image dataset to detect the WPCB’s ICs. Regarding IC detection, the best result was obtained with the partitioned analysis of each image through a sliding window, thus creating new images of smaller dimensions, reaching 86.77% mAP. As a final result, we estimate that the Deep PCB Dataset has a total of 1079.18 g of ICs, from which it would be possible to recover at least 909.94 g of metals and silicon elements from all WPCBs’ ICs. Since there is a high variability in the compositions of WPCBs, it is possible to calculate the gross income for each WPCB and use it as a decision criterion for the type of pre-processing.

Abstract:
In the last several decades, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) reverse supply chain management has increasingly gained more attention due to the development of an environmental awareness, the rapid raise of e-wasted products and the EU regulations. In particular, although the new EU WEEE collection target has not been reached by many EU countries, several studies show that an optimized WEEE wastes management processes could represent a relevant way to achieve economic, environmental and social benefits expected by the adoption of circular economy approaches. According to this, the paper aims to evaluate the extent to which the current Italian organization of the WEEE management system and the related legislation are able to support the achievement of the targets defined by EU with a specific focus on the collection centers (CCs) which play a key role being the initial point of the WEEE reverse logistic cycle. An illustrative analysis based on the transition probability matrix regarding both the e-waste collecting performance and the distribution of collecting centers in the Italian provinces is illustrated. Furthermore, we have analyzed the presence of a correlation between the WEEE collection rate and the presence of the CCs in different provinces in order to better comprehend the role that can play both the investments in CC system and other soft measures in achieving the WEEE collection targets. Results show that the current Italian organization of the WEEE management system and the related legislations are not so effective in supporting the achievement of EU WEEE collection targets at the national level, although some geographical areas and provinces outperform the EU targets.

Abstract:
The article discusses the consequences of the development of the economy, processes and services, expressed in a sharp increase in the number of operating electronic equipment, which directly leads to an increase in the generated volumes of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and the problems of their disposal. Various types of electronic equipment containing substances that constitute a serious threat to the ecology and human health, especially with improper disposal, are analyzed. The existing foreign and domestic experience in the field of electronic waste disposal is considered. The system of recycling electronic waste adopted in the EU countries and regulatory documents operating abroad and in the Russian Federation was studied. Practical recommendations are proposed for creating a real WEEE management system taking into account the actual situation in Russia and world experience in this area.

Abstract:
Reconhecido como um problema mundial, o crescente volume de resíduos eletrônicos tem representado uma preocupação quanto às práticas de descarte destes equipamentos por utilizar na fabricação produtos e metais tóxicos com possíveis danos à saúde dos seres humanos e ao ambiente. Os resíduos de equipamentos eletroeletrônicos também possuem em sua composição metais preciosos como ouro e a prata, além de teores significativos de cobre, representando fonte de interesse comercial na recuperação destes materiais, reduzindo a necessidade de exploração destes recursos na natureza. Estes fatores associados à rápida obsolescência e posterior descarte impulsionou uma complexa cadeia produtiva formada por empresas que coletam, separam, fracionam, recuperam, armazenam e reciclam estes materiais. Neste fluxo ocorrem várias interações entre as empresas e a sociedade com consequentes impactos sociais, econômicos e ambientais. Esta pesquisa realizou um diagnóstico de uma parte desta cadeia, compreendida pelos “processadores de resíduos”, entendido como as empresas que realizam a coleta, armazenagem, segregação e descaracterização dos equipamentos. Seus processos são em sua maioria manuais e, em alguns casos, algumas etapas de processamento mecânico. Operam na etapa de pré-processamento como fornecedores de insumos para o restante da cadeia. Estas empresas não realizam os procedimentos mais complexos da reciclagem, como a pirometalurgia, hidrometalurgia e eletrometalurgia. Para atingir o objetivo proposto foi utilizado um questionário semiestruturado direcionado a empresas previamente selecionadas e de abrangência nacional. Os dados coletados foram tabulados e analisados em seus contextos qualitativos e quantitativos, com o cruzamento de informações. Os resultados da pesquisa forneceram um conjunto de informações a respeito do sistema produtivo, dos volumes processados e de aspectos econômicos e de gestão do setor. Foi possível identificar os vários níveis de amadurecimento e gestão, onde algumas empresas operam com consistente estrutura administrativa, conhecimento, cumprimento da legislação e consciência ambiental, e outras, com sistemas de gestão deficientes e quase informalidade. Possuem capacidade média de processamento de resíduos de 100 toneladas/mês, e utilização de 50% desta capacidade. A parcela reciclável dos resíduos é em média 80% do total do material coletado. Os setores da sociedade que mais contribuem com resíduos são a indústria com 41,25% seguido do comércio e doméstico. No contexto econômico, 70% do faturamento tem origem no processamento de placas de circuito integrado. Quanto à comercialização dos produtos 75,39% tem como destino outros recicladores no Brasil ou exterior. Os dados coletados sobre os custos de processamento não foram satisfatórios pelo reduzido número de respostas, demonstrando que a questão poderia ter sido mais bem formulada ou a técnica de coleta melhor estudada. As principais contribuições resultantes deste trabalho são fornecer uma visão do fluxo e do volume de resíduos processados, possibilitar uma compreensão das interações econômicas entre os diversos interessados e das dificuldades que o setor enfrenta para alcançar um sistema de gestão sustentável para os resíduos eletroeletrônicos.
Recognized as a world problem, the increasing volume of electronic waste gives rise to as much concern as the practice of discarding this equipment because, in its fabrication, toxic metals are used, which causes possible health risks for human beings and for the environment. Electronic equipment waste also has precious metals within its composition, such as gold and silver, besides significant levels of copper, which represents a source of commercial interest in terms of the recuperation of these materials and a subsequent reduction in the necessity of exploration of these natural resources. These factors, together with the rapid transformation into obsolescence and later disposal of the equipment, has stimulated a complex production chain made up of companies who collect, separate, break up, recuperate, store and recycle these materials. In this interchange, various interactions occur between the companies and the society with a consequent social, economic and environmental impact. The present research has made a diagnosis of one part of this chain, as in the “waste processors”, that means the companies which carry out the collection, storage, separation and transformation of the equipment. The majority of the processes are manual with a few cases of mechanical processes in some stages. They operate at the pre-processing stage as input suppliers for the rest of the chain. These companies do not carry out the more complex procedures of recycling, such as pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy or electrometallurgy. To achieve the proposed objective, a semi-structured questionnaire was used, directed towards previously selected companies on a national scale. The collected data were tabled and analyzed within their qualitative and quantitative context with a cross-check information. The results of the research produced information in relation to the productive system, the volume which is processed, the economic aspects and the sector management. It was possible to identify the various levels of maturation and management, where some companies operate with a consistent administrative structure, knowledge, compliance with the law and environmental consciousness but where others operate with deficient management and a lack of formality. They have an average capacity of waste processing of residues of 100 tons per month with 50% utilization of this capacity. The recycled part of the waste represents an average of 80% of the total amount of collected material. The sectors that more generate this kind of waste are the industrial sector, with 41.25%, followed by the commercial and domestic sectors. Within an economic context, 70% of the income originates from Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Regarding the commercialization of the products, 75.39% are destined for other recycling plants in both Brazil and abroad. The collected data were not satisfactory in relation to the processing costs because of the low number of replies, demonstrating that the questions in relation to this could have been better formulated or the information collecting method should be improved. The main contributions resulting from this study are: create a vision of the volume flux of processed waste and allow for comprehension of the economical interactions between the various interested parties and the difficulties which the sector faces to achieve a sustainable management system for electronic waste.

Abstract:
Introdução: A viabilização da coleta e destinação correta dos resíduos pós-consumo é prevista pela Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS) - Lei n°12.305 de 2010-importante marco regulatório para a gestão ambiental no Brasil. Dentre diversos aspectos enunciados, destacam-se o princípio da responsabilidade compartilhada pelo ciclo de vida dos produtos e o instrumento logística reversa. O art. 33 desta lei considera prioritária a implantação de sistemas de logística reversa (SLR) para seis classes de resíduos, dentre eles os resíduos de equipamentos eletroeletrônicos (REEE). Objetivos: analisar e caracterizar o discurso de gestores do comércio, da indústria, do poder público e das cooperativas, relacionados com o setor de eletroeletrônicos sobre a implantação de SLR. Métodos: Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com nove gestores envolvidos no processo de implantação de SLR de eletroeletrônicos. Os dados foram transcritos, categorizados e posteriormente analisados pelo software Classification Hiérarchique Classificatoire et Cohésitive - CHIC®. O modelo dos múltiplos fluxos foi utilizado para auxiliar no entendimento do processo de formação da PNRS. Resultados: foram obtidas sete árvores hierárquicas de similaridade e quatro grupos com diferentes forças de implicação. Conclusão: Os pontos relevantes identificados mostram que: 1) o Acordo Setorial foi o instrumento escolhido para implantação de SLR de REEE, mas existem entraves entre os setores privado e público, que geraram atrasos para assinatura do Acordo; 2) os custos dos produtos órfãos é um assunto conflitante, onde indústria e comércio não concordam em arcar com os custos; 3) cabe ao governo o papel de educador e fiscalizador dos órfãos; 4) a inclusão das cooperativas de catadores é um tema complexo, que envolve a resolução de questões estruturais e de capacitação de recursos humanos; 5) a participação do consumidor é fundamental para efetividade da logística reversa.
Introduction: The feasibility of collection and proper disposal of post-consumer waste is provided by the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) - Law n° 12.305 2010-important regulatory framework for environmental management in Brazil. Among several aspects listed, highlight the principle of shared responsibility for the lifecycle of products and reverse logistics tool. The art. 33 of this law considers a priority the implementation of reverse logistics systems (SLR) for six classes of waste, including waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Objectives: To analyze and characterize the speech of managers of trade, industry, public authorities and cooperatives, related to consumer electronics over the implementation of SLR. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine managers involved in the implementation of electronic SLR process. Data were transcribed, categorized and analyzed using the software Classification Hierarchique Classificatoire et Cohésitive - CHIC®. The model of \"multiple streams\" was used to assist in understanding the process of formation of PNRS. Results: seven hierarchical trees of similarity and four groups with different forces of implication were obtained. Conclusion: The relevant points identified show that: 1) the \'Sectoral Agreement\' was the instrument chosen for the implementation of the WEEEs SLR, but there are barriers between the private and public sectors, generating delays in signing the agreement; 2) the cost of products \"orphans\" is a conflicting issue where industry and commerce not agree to bear the costs; 3) the government\'s role as an educator and inspector of the \"orphans\"; 4) the inclusion of recycling cooperatives is a complex issue that involves the resolution of structural issues and training of human resources; 5) consumer participation is critical to the effectiveness of the reverse logistics.

The consumption of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) has rapidly increased due to the increasing technological advances and the desire of society of using these products. Therefore, the generation of wastes electrical and electronic equipment l (WEEE) is increasing consistently. WEEE contain components that are harmful to human health and the environment because they have in their composition various dangerous substances, such as heavy metals and flame retardants. In order to manage such wastes, the Brazilian law number 12,305 / 2010 known as the National Policy on Solid Waste (NPSW), entered into force in August 2014. The law provides guidelines for the integrated and solid waste management through the allocation and appropriate treatment by reverse logistics following a hierarchy consisting of non-generation, reduction, reuse, recycling, treatment and final disposal in landfills. Considering this context, this research uses an environmental management tool known as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) that identifies, quantifies and assesses the environmental aspects associated with products, processes and services throughout their lifecycle. The life cycle begins when resources are required (raw materials, energy and water) for a particular product manufacturing and ends after the end of its life returning to the environment. Some benefits that LCA provides are the environmental impact assessment and identification of critical points associated with a particular product and or process, or in comparing two or more products and or similar processes guiding decision-making. It is also effective in the selection of relevant environmental indicators for products and or processes, quantification of environmental emissions for each stage of the life cycle of a product and or process and evaluation of human and ecological effects of consuming materials. The set of data and calculation procedures that define the inputs and outputs of a system aiming to quantify energy consumption, raw material and other physical inputs and outputs consist of products, air emissions, water waste, solid waste and other environmental aspects is known as Life Cycle Inventory (LCI). This study aimed to the preparation of Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) of WEEE plastic recycling process at a company in the region of Sorocaba/SP focusing on waste related to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The results observed provided to identify and quantify environmental aspects generated in WEEE recycling steps and can thus, in the future, continue the study through the stages of Evaluation and Interpretation of results for obtention of every category of environmental impact and their respective contribution. The results obtained allowed the comparison of the production process of high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), both recycled with the same of virgin raw material source, which was founded that the studied system saves about 90% of energy for recycling HIPS and ABS and provided a 84% reduction in CO2 emissions into the atmosphere for the recycling of HIPS and 87% of CO2 into the recycling of ABS. The study showed that the WEEE plastic recycling process provided benefits for the environment and human health by reducing the consumption of natural resources and energy, and contributed to the guidelines proposed in NPSW, which settles a requirement of reverse logistics for WEEE. The research also contributed to the expansion of the LCA database in Brazil and the world can be used in future work of the same nature.
O consumo de equipamentos elétricos e eletrônicos (EEE) tem aumentado rapidamente devido ao crescente avanço tecnológico e ao desejo da sociedade pelo uso desses produtos. Desta forma, a geração de resíduos de equipamentos elétricos e eletrônicos (REEE) está cada vez mais em ascensão. Os REEE possuem componentes que fazem mal a saúde humana e ao meio ambiente por apresentarem em sua composição diversas substâncias perigosas, como por exemplo, metais pesados e retardantes de chama. Com o objetivo de gerenciar os resíduos, em agosto de 2014, entrou em vigor a lei de número 12.305/2010 conhecida como a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS). A lei apresenta diretrizes relativas à gestão integrada e ao gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos através da destinação e tratamento adequado mediante a logística reversa seguindo uma hierarquia que consiste em não geração, redução, reutilização, reciclagem, tratamento e disposição final em aterros. Considerando esse contexto, utilizou-se nessa pesquisa uma ferramenta de gestão ambiental conhecida como Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV) que identifica, quantifica e avalia os aspectos ambientais associados aos produtos, processos e serviços durante todo o seu ciclo de vida. O ciclo de vida inicia-se quando os recursos são requeridos (matérias primas, energia e água) para a manufatura de determinado produto e finalizase após o fim de vida ao retornar para o meio ambiente. Alguns benefícios que a ACV proporciona são a avaliação dos impactos ambientais e identificação de pontos críticos associados a um determinado produto e/ou processo ou na comparação de dois ou mais produtos e/ou processos similares orientando na tomada de decisões, seleção de indicadores ambientais relevantes de produtos e/ou processos, quantificação de liberações ambientais em relação a cada estágio do ciclo de vida de um produto e/ou processo e avaliação dos efeitos humanos e ecológicos do consumo de materiais. O conjunto de dados e procedimentos de cálculos que definem as entradas e saídas de um sistema com o objetivo de quantificar o consumo de energia, matériaprima e outras entradas físicas e as saídas constituído por produtos, emissões atmosféricas, efluentes líquidos, resíduos sólidos e outros aspectos ambientais é conhecido como Inventário do Ciclo de Vida (ICV). O presente estudo teve como objetivo a elaboração do Inventário do Ciclo de Vida (ICV) de um processo de reciclagem de plástico de REEE em uma empresa na região deSorocaba/SP. Com os resultados obtidos foi possível identificar e quantificar aspectos ambientais gerados nas etapas de reciclagem de REEE, podendo, assim, no futuro dar continuidade ao estudo através das etapas de Avaliação e Interpretação dos resultados para a obtenção de todas as categorias de impactos ambientais e a suas respectivas contribuições. Os resultados obtidos permitiram a comparação do processo de produção do poliestireno de alto impacto (HIPS) e do acrilonitrilo-butadieno-estireno (ABS) reciclados com os mesmos de origem de matéria prima virgem, onde foi verificado que o sistema estudado economiza aproximadamente 90% de energia para a reciclagem do HIPS e do ABS e apresentaram uma redução de 84% na emissão de CO2 para a atmosfera para a reciclagem do HIPS e uma redução de 87% de CO2 para a reciclagem do ABS. O estudo mostrou que o processo de reciclagem de plásticos de REEE proporcionou benefícios para o meio ambiente e à saúde humana através da redução do consumo de recursos naturais e energia, e contribuiu com as diretrizes propostas na PNRS, onde estabelece a obrigatoriedade da logística reversa dos REEE. A pesquisa, também, contribuiu para a ampliação do banco de dados de ACV no Brasil e no mundo podendo ser utilizado em futuros trabalhos de mesma natureza.

Les politiques publiques classiques des années 70, fondées sur une approche régalienne, se sont révélées inefficaces pour stimuler des démarches innovantes et collectives.Dans cette thèse, nous étudions une approche alternative fondée sur un principe de responsabilisation des producteurs, encadrés par une forme de co-régulation entre acteurs publics et privés. Alors que la responsabilité est souvent associée à une logique individuelle, qu’est-ce qu’une responsabilité collective? Plus encore, pour faire de la responsabilisation une technique politique de gouvernement, quels processus et instruments s’agit-il de mobiliser pour rendre des acteurs collectivement responsables?À travers le cas de la filière des DEEE, cette thèse propose des principes de la co-régulation. Nous nous appuyons sur la littérature sur les communs, où ont été discutées les conditions d’une gestion et d’une gouvernance collectives. La thèse repose sur une approche exploratoire, qualitative et longitudinale. Une analyse comparative au niveau européen permet une mise en perspective des propositions théoriques
The Linear Economy is structured on: extraction, production, product use and landfill. This model prevails although it is a threat to the preservation of natural resources. Whereas, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) constitute “Urban Mines” that are rich in valuable metals. Public policies from the 70s, based on regulatory constraints, have proved to be inefficient in instigating innovative and collective processes.In this thesis, we study an alternative approach based on the responsabilization of producers through co-regulated action between public and private actors. While responsibility is often linked to individualism, this work scrutinizes the substance of collective responsibility. Furthermore, in consideration of responsabilization as a mode of political governance, we examine the processes and the instruments which could be engaged to bestow collective responsibility on private actors.Through an exploratory, qualitative and longitudinal approach in the context of the WEEE sector, we propose new co-regulation principles. The research is based on the literature of the commons in which the conditions of a collective governance are discussed. The theoretical propositions are considered in the perspective of a comparative analysis at the European level

Abstract:
This thesis reports on results of a novel process to recover metals selectively by electrodeposition by pumping aqueous acidic chloride solutions produced by leaching of shredded waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) through the potentiostatically controlled cathode of an electrochemical reactor. The WEEE solutions contained low concentrations of precious metals, including Ag, Au, Pd and high concentrations of Cu. Electrodeposition from low concentrations of such dissolved metals requires electrodes with high mass transport rate coefficients and specific surface areas to increase cross-sectional current densities and optimise capital and operating costs. Hence, to recover gold from solutions with concentrations < 10 mol m-3 in the WEEE leachate, a three-dimensional cathode was used consisting of a circulating particulate bed of 0.5-1.0 mm diameter graphite particles, on which (AuIIICl4 - + AuICl2 -) ions were reduced. The temporal decay of the solution absorbance of AuCl4 - ions at 312 nm was recorded on-line by a quartz flow cell connected to a UV-visible spectrophotometer using fibre optics, enabling its time dependent concentration to be determined in real time. Total dissolved gold concentrations were determined by Inductively-coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The results from the reactor experiments were modelled in terms of a mass transport controlled reaction in a plug flow electrochemical reactor operated in batch recycle with a continuous stirred tank reservoir. As copper is the dominant element in WEEE, and hence in the leach solution, its electrodeposition was investigated using an electrochemical reactor with a Ti/Ta2O5-IrO2 anode, cation-permeable membrane and a Ti mesh cathode in a fluidised bed of 590-840 μm glass beads to enhance mass transfer rates and to improve copper deposit morphologies. As for other metals, the effects were determined of cathode potential and solution flow rate on electrodeposition rates, charge yields, specific electrical energy consumptions, and deposit morphologies, imaged subsequently by scanning electron microscopy, and purities determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). While depleting CuII concentrations from 500 to 35 mol m-3, copper purities of > 99.79 %, as required for commercial purity Cu, were achieved with charge yields of 0.90 and specific electrical energy consumptions of 2000 kW h tonne-1. In addition, the circulating particulate bed cathode depleted solutions rapidly from 15 mol m-3 CuII ca. 100 ppm. Experiments with a rotating vitreous carbon cathode confirmed predictions from a kinetic model for a small electrode potential window within which to achieve selective electrodeposition of tin from synthetic SnIV-PbII aqueous chloride solutions, from which Pb could be electrodeposited subsequently. AlIII, FeII, ZnII and NiII remained in solution after the recovery of Au, Cu, Sn and Pb from the WEEE leachate. Unlike Al, it is possible to electrodeposit Fe from aqueous solution, and it was decided to add NaOH (+ air) to increase the pH to ca. 3.25 to precipitate ‘Fe(OH)3’, which was recovered by filtration. This option also enabled subsequent electro-co-deposition of Ni and Zn with high charge yields, as the higher pH decreased the driving force for H2 evolution. A one- dimensional mathematical model was developed in MAPLETM to predict the kinetics of Ni-Zn electro-co-deposition, which was validated experimentally. The model also considered the potential and concentration profiles in the cathode | electrolyte boundary layer for conditions in which migration and convective diffusion all contribute to overall transport rates, to predict the behaviour and optimize the process parameters of the electrochemical reactors.

Abstract:
The society is striving to tackle the over-extraction of Earth’s resources due to the ongoing population rise. The increased needs of energy and material resources leads to a growing volume of materials waste, which include a variety of dangerous pollutants among them. Waste of electrical and electronic equipment poses a universal problem due to its vast quantities, responsible for environmental pollution and numerous diseases to humans and animals. The high demand in electrical and electronic equipment along with its short-life time due to its obsolescence, leads to the expansion of WEEE waste stream. Energy and material recovery from WEEE can minimize significantly the over extraction of precious metals and minerals along with fuels towards a more sustainable future. Currently, there are several ways to treat WEEE and recover material fractions along with energy, such as incineration and landfilling. Thermochemical treatment of WEEE offers the possibility to convert waste into energy and material simultaneously, in an environmentally friendlier way, resulting in a more sustainable waste management. In this research, pyrolysis is examined as a method for energy and material recovery from WEEE. Brominated plastics along with Polyethylene plastic mixtures have been acquired from Stena and Boliden AB separation processes respectively. Both materials are subjected to pyrolysis in a fixed bed and an auger reactor. The pyrolysis products show their strong relation to the pyrolysis temperature, the type of the reactor and the initial composition of the feedstock material. The carried-out experiments depict the upward trend of the gaseous products in favor of the oils as the pyrolysis temperature increase. The amount of solid residue remained almost at the same levels throughout the temperature range, meaning that no higher temperatures are needed in order to achieve higher decomposition rates of the tested material. Unreacted carbon and inorganic compounds end up in the solid residue that could be used as fuel in a combustion process. The metal fraction can be separated and recycled, as it possesses commercial value. Main oil compounds listed were, styrene, toluene, ethylbenzene, alpha methylstyrene benzene, phenol. Compounds such as benzene, indene and p-xylene were produced as the organic compounds were further decomposed during the experiments at the highest temperatures. Chlorine and bromine content must be separated in order to be a formidable fuel. The amount of combustible gases was increasing and their energy potential with the temperature rise. The gaseous fraction consists mainly of: H2, CO, CH4, CO2, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8. Both the gaseous and oil compounds can be used as fuels in a combustion process. The amount of halogens was measured at low levels within the product range, though their separation is important. Pyrolysis of WEEE is a promising method for energy and material recovery that can boost the sustainability of our society.
Samhället strävar efter att ta itu med överutvinningen av jordens resurser på grund av den pågåendebefolkningsökningen. De ökade behoven hos energi och materiella resurser leder till en ökandemängd materialavfall, vilket inkluderar en mängd farliga föroreningar bland dem. Avfall av elektriskoch elektronisk utrustning utgör ett universellt problem på grund av sin stora mängd, ansvarig förmiljöföroreningar och många sjukdomar hos människor och djur. Den stora efterfrågan på elektriskoch elektronisk utrustning tillsammans med den korta livslängden på grund av dess föryngring ledertill utvidgningen av WEEE-avfallsströmmen. Energi och materialåtervinning från WEEE kanbetydligt minska över-extraktion av ädelmetaller och mineraler tillsammans med bränslen mot en merhållbar framtid. För närvarande finns det flera sätt att behandla WEEE och återvinna materialfraktioner tillsammansmed energi, såsom förbränning och deponering. Termokemisk behandling av WEEE erbjudermöjlighet att omvandla avfall till energi och material samtidigt, på ett miljövänligare sätt, vilketresulterar i en mer hållbar avfallshantering.I denna forskning undersöks pyrolys som en metod för energi och materialåtervinning från WEEE.Bromerad plast tillsammans med polyetylenplastblandningar har förvärvats från Stena och BolidenAB separationsprocesser. Båda materialen utsätts för pyrolys i en fast bädd och en skruvreaktor.Pyrolysprodukterna visar deras starka förhållande till pyrolys-temperaturen, reaktortypen och denursprungliga sammansättningen av råmaterialet. De utförda experimenten visar den uppåtgåendetrenden hos de gasformiga produkterna till förmån för oljorna som pyrolystemperaturökningen.Mängden fast substans förblev nästan vid samma nivåer genom temperaturintervallet, vilket innebäratt inga högre temperaturer behövs för att uppnå högre sönderdelningshastigheter för det testadematerialet. Oreagerat kol och oorganiska föreningar hamnar i den fasta återstoden som kan användassom bränsle vid förbränningsprocessen. Metallfraktionen kan separeras och återvinnas, eftersom denhar kommersiellt värde. De angivna huvudolja-föreningarna var styren, toluen, etylbensen, alfa-metylstyrenbensen, fenol.Föreningar såsom bensen, inden och p-xylen framställdes när de organiska föreningarnasönderdelades vidare under försöken vid de högsta temperaturerna. Klor och brominnehåll måstesepareras för att vara ett formidabelt bränsle.Mängden brännbara gaser ökade och deras energipotential med temperaturökningen. Den gasformigafraktionen består huvudsakligen av: H2, CO, CH4, CO2, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8. Bådegasformiga och oljeföreningar kan användas som bränslen i en förbränningsprocess. Mängdenhalogener mättes vid låga halter inom produktsortimentet, fastän deras separation är viktig.Pyrolys av WEEE är en lovande metod för energi och materialåtervinning som kan öka vårt samhälleshållbarhet.

Abstract:
Due to potential environmental, resource and health problems associated with waste, waste minimisation is a prioritised waste management strategy in many countries. Producer responsibility policies promote waste minimisation by stipulating separate collection and recycling of particular waste streams. In addition, a purpose of the policy is to encourage product development that reduces waste generation and improves recyclability. It is sometimes assumed that the financial responsibility assigned to producers for collection and recycling of their end-of-life products will instigate waste minimising product development in order to reduce costs. However, this view has also been contested. Following the adoption of the WEEE Directive (2002/96/EC) all EU member states have to implement producer responsibility for WEEE. Taking a qualitative multiple case study approach, this study explores company responses to the costs of existing national producer responsibility policies for WEEE in relation product development. The purpose is to inform policy-making on the effectiveness of producer responsibility charges in achieving waste minimising product development. The study comprises both large companies and SMEs in the lighting equipments sector. It also includes companies in EU member states without producer responsibility for WEEE in order to see if there are any differences in waste-minimising product design among countries and if national policies have an impact beyond national borders. Economic principles and previous research findings on ecodesign make up the analytical framework for the study. Quantitative data on cost-benefits of ecodesign and waste minimisation achievements were scarce. However, the company responses show that the costs imposed on the producers by the WEEE policy have had little effect on product development so far. The costs can generally be transferred to customers via product prices. The price increases were generally small and without any negative effects on competitiveness. Other drivers such as bans on certain substances, environmental industry product declarations, commercial advantages including direct customer demands from for instance public procurers, are more effective.

Abstract:
Nowadays there is a higher need of strict and broader legislation in waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) recycling industry to reduce environmental effects of WEEE. Environmental challenges include pollution, exhaustion of natural resources, waste management and reduction of landfills. High speed in technological development in many sectors puts many products in great challenge of obsoleting almost immediately after their purchase. In particular, this is the fate for electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). They are forever-improving and incorporate state of the art innovations. This provide many benefits; however, at the same time, its expansion results in rapidly growing waste stream of WEEE. WEEE contains a combination of all these situations, including for example, batteries, plastics of quality, precious metals and toxic soldering metals. The reuse and renovation of WEEE are therefore very critical because of its significant ecological environmental impacts. Sustainable development is not a static situation, but a state of dynamic balance between human and environmental system. The current chapter explores sustainability planning and strategies such as eco-design, and design for dismantling and recycling, and what they mean for electronic products. It examines the incentives, methods and tools for sustainable electronic product design, with particular emphasis on reuse, recycling, selection of sustainable materials and processes, and lack of resources.

Abstract:
Discarded electrical and electronic equipment contains valuable materials, low value parts, and hazardous substances. There is a growing concern regarding the management of end-of-use equipment owing to the environmental concerns associated with discarding used devices. Electronic waste or scrap consumes valuable landfill space and may ultimately contaminate groundwater sources. In addition, replacing discarded components with new components typically consumes valuable virgin material resources. With the advent of the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive, used electrical and electronic products are now being recovered in Turkey as a European Union (EU) candidate country, and several companies in Turkey have begun to recover latent value through disassembly and reuse/recycling of materials and components. To remain competitive, these companies must implement economical and environmentally responsible recovery processes. There are a number of research challenges associated with product recovery. This paper describes the current product recovery infrastructure in Turkey, and discusses future trends and drivers for successful product take-back.

Abstract:
Cloud based approach for remanufacturing is becoming a new technical solution for sustainable management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). This paper presents a service-oriented framework of a Cloud Based Remanufacturing System (CBRS) for WEEE. In remanufacturing of WEEE, disassembly plays an important role. However, complete disassembly is rarely an ideal solution due to the high disassembly cost, with the increasing customization and diversity, and more complex assembly processes of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE). Selective disassembly focusing on disassembling only a few selected components is a better choice. In this paper, a Q-Learning based Selective Disassembly Planning (QL-SDP) approach embedded with a multi-criteria decision making model is developed. The multi-criteria decision making model is built according to the legislative and economic considerations of specific stakeholders of WEEE. And the QL-SDP approach is used to achieve optimized selective disassembly planning. An implementation example has been used to verify and demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the approach. The developed QL-SDP approach is designed as a service implemented in the presented CBRS for WEEE.

Abstract:
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is both valuable and harmful since it contains a large number of profitable and hazardous materials and elements at the same time. At component level, many parts of the discarded equipment are still functional and recoverable. Thus it is necessary to develop a distributed and intelligent system to support WEEE recovery and recycling. In recent years, the Cloud concept has gained increasing popularity since it provides a service-oriented architecture that integrates various resources over the network. Cloud Manufacturing systems are proposed world-wide to support operational manufacturing processes. In this research, Cloud Manufacturing is further extended to the WEEE recovery and recycling context. A Cloud-based WEEE Recovery system is developed to provide modularized recovery services on the Cloud. A data management system is developed as well, which maintains the knowledge throughout the product lifecycle. A product tracking mechanism is also proposed with the help of the Quick Respond code method.
