Creating New Jewellery with precious metals recovered from electronic waste

It is estimated that electronic and electrical equipment discarded in 2021 weigh more than 57 million tonnes, less one-fifth of this waste (e-waste) recycled. The Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the integral component any equipment, a useful type due to their nearly 30% metal content. This research aims explore hydrometallurgy technique recover precious metals from e-waste, transform materials into wearable jewellery through developing new ways utilising material, specifically working with solution.
