Abstract

Recovery of useful metal from e-waste was carried out by using liquefaction in biomass derived tar or steam gasification in the presence of eutectic carbonate. These two technologies were feasible and fitting for a small distributed process, because plastic parts of e-waste can be removed under relatively mild condition without dismantlement required high cost. In the smart recycle society supported by information technology, we can expect that targeted materials are recovered selectively from the e-waste and the hydrogen derived from waste plastics is used as energy of complementary electrical source of unstable renewable energy.
