e-waste, recycling, precious metals, extraction of precious metalsAbstract
In this paper the basic definitions of electronic waste, quantity, composition and its impact on the environment are given. Legislation in the European Union and Serbia is also covered. The use of precious metals in electronic equipment is described. The main part of the paper is the method of extraction of precious metals from electronic equipment, which includes recycling, collection, pretreatment and final treatment. At the end of the paper, limiting factors for the extraction of precious metals from electronic waste are shown..
