 The useful life of electrical and electronic equipment, EEE, has been shortened as a result of technological advancements and changes in consumer patterns. This has led to the generation of large amounts of electronic waste, e-waste, which must now be properly managed. Due to environmental pollution and global regulations, the handling of e-waste, including burning it in incinerators, dumping it in landfills, or shipping it overseas, is no longer permitted. Furthermore, the presence of precious metals, PMs, makes e-waste recycling economically attractive. In this paper, current metallurgical processes for extracting metals from e-waste, including existing industrial routes, are reviewed. Mechanical processing, hydrometallurgical, and pyrometallurgical routes are critically analyzed. Pyrometallurgical routes are more cost-effective and environmentally friendly when controlling hazardous emissions. Currently, pyrometallurgical routes are used to segregate and upgrade PMs, gold and silver, into base metals, PMs, copper, lead, and nickel. These base.
