TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of technologies applied to recycle portable batteries, e.g. lead acid will not be described here, are reviewed and a review of the technologies involved in the collection, sorting and processing of portable batteries is presented.
506 citations
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the technical viability of recovering copper using mechanical processing followed by an electrometallurgical technique and the copper obtained by electrowinning is above 98% in most of the tests.
269 citations
TL;DR: Printed circuit boards, which are used in personal computers, were studied in order to recover the metals in the circuit boards through mechanical processing, such as crushing, screening, as well as magnetic and electrostatic separation, to demonstrate the feasibility of using these processes to separate metal fractions from polymers and ceramics.
263 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the main battery-recycling processes currently used and those that are being developed are described and discussed, as well as technological options for the recycling of lead acid, Zn-C, ZN-MnO 2, nickel metal hydride, nickel-cadmium, lithium and lithium ion batteries.
261 citations
TL;DR: The Lean & Green Model as discussed by the authors adopts a Kaizen approach to improve mass and energy flows in manufacturing environments that already possess the necessary deployment level to apply lean thinking The model was designed for, and is limited to, the cell level, which is the first stream level of a manufacturing business that supports the principles of lean thinking.

TL;DR: This book by a teacher of statistics (as well as a consultant for "experimenters") is a comprehensive study of the philosophical background for the statistical design of experiment.
Abstract: THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTS. By Oscar Kempthorne. New York, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1952. 631 pp. $8.50. This book by a teacher of statistics (as well as a consultant for \"experimenters\") is a comprehensive study of the philosophical background for the statistical design of experiment. It is necessary to have some facility with algebraic notation and manipulation to be able to use the volume intelligently. The problems are presented from the theoretical point of view, without such practical examples as would be helpful for those not acquainted with mathematics. The mathematical justification for the techniques is given. As a somewhat advanced treatment of the design and analysis of experiments, this volume will be interesting and helpful for many who approach statistics theoretically as well as practically. With emphasis on the \"why,\" and with description given broadly, the author relates the subject matter to the general theory of statistics and to the general problem of experimental inference.

TL;DR: The main conclusions arrived at from the overall assessment of the literature are that more work needs to be done on degradation kinetics and reactor modeling of the combined process, and also dynamics of the initial attack on primary contaminants and intermediate species generation.
2,046 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the technical applicability of various physico-chemical treatments for the removal of heavy metals such as Cd(II), Cr(III, Cr(VI), Cu(II, Ni(II) and Zn(II).

TL;DR: In the detailed literature survey, value distributions for different electronic waste samples were calculated, and it was showed that the major economic driver for recycling of electronic waste is from the recovery of precious metals.

TL;DR: The main impacts due to waste mismanagement in developing countries are reviewed, focusing on environmental contamination and social issues, and the activity of the informal sector in developing cities was also reviewed.
Abstract: Environmental contamination due to solid waste mismanagement is a global issue. Open dumping and open burning are the main implemented waste treatment and final disposal systems, mainly visible in low-income countries. This paper reviews the main impacts due to waste mismanagement in developing countries, focusing on environmental contamination and social issues. The activity of the informal sector in developing cities was also reviewed, focusing on the main health risks due to waste scavenging. Results reported that the environmental impacts are pervasive worldwide: marine litter, air, soil and water contamination, and the direct interaction of waste pickers with hazardous waste are the most important issues. Many reviews were published in the scientific literature about specific waste streams, in order to quantify its effect on the environment. This narrative literature review assessed global issues due to different waste fractions showing how several sources of pollution are affecting the environment, population health, and sustainable development. The results and case studies presented can be of reference for scholars and stakeholders for quantifying the comprehensive impacts and for planning integrated solid waste collection and treatment systems, for improving sustainability at a global level.
