Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Chemistry - Other, grade: 75, language: English, abstract: This study investigates the recovery of valuable metals in an environmentally friendly way that reduce environmental pollution and human exposure to the toxic chemicals. The global production of electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) is increasing rapidly and is expected to accelerate globally. Globally e-waste is classified as hazardous material and therefore should be managed properly to avert pollution and human e-waste is one of the waste streams difficult to manage global. In Nigeria, it is expected that the production of e-waste will increase by 60%, therefore, a three-pillar strategy of waste prevention, recycling and reuse has been suggested to minimize the environmental impact and promote the efficient utilization of wasted resource.
