Waste from electrical and electronic equipment

Abstract

Intensive development of the electrical and electronic equipment industry causes generation of high quantities of specific wastes. Recycling of waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is an important subject not only from the point of waste treatment but also from the recovery of valuable materials. In the present study, physical and chemical properties, hazardous component of WEEE, mechanical and chemical recycling technologies review are presented. EU directives WEEE will be appreciated in 2006. with the aim to force a manufacturers to reuse the own products and recycling a 65% of their average weight.

Intenzivan razvoj industrije električnih i elektronskih proizvoda prouzrokovao je generisanje većih količina ovih specifičnih otpada. Reciklaža otpada električnih i elektronskih proizvoda (OEEP) je značajna, ne samo sa gledišta prerade i tretmana, već i dobijanja korisnih materijala. U ovom radu su prikazane fizičke i hemijske karakteristike, opasne komponente OEEP i prezentirane tehnologije reciklaže istih. Direktive EZ o OEEP koje će se primenjivati od 2006. god. će prisiliti proizvođače da preuzimaju svoje proizvode i recikliraju 65% njihove prosečne težine.
