 The paper discusses the issue of electronic waste, e-waste, generated due to advancements in technology and changes in consumer patterns. E-waste contains precious metals that make recycling economically attractive. The paper reviews current metallurgical processes for extracting metals from e-waste, including existing industrial routes. Pyrometallurgical routes are comparatively economical and eco-efficient if hazardous emissions are controlled. These routes are used initially for segregating and upgrading precious metals into base metals, followed by hydrometallurgical and electrometallurgical processing for the recovery of pure base and precious metals. Challenges identify for recycling e-waste in Australia include collection, transportation, liberation of metal fractions, and installation of integrated smelting and refining facilities.
