ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the availability of resources in e-waste from different equipment, their processing techniques, and recycling applications of energy generation and building construction materials. E-wastes are effectively utilized as an alternative concrete mixture for building construction that claims to increase the structural strength in comparison with the conventional materials. E-waste processing is an important process to ensure the environment safe from harmful chemicals and toxic metals that are being used in the electrical and electronic industry. One way to process e-waste in developing countries is dismantling the different instruments and breaking them into smaller-sized components. Landfill refers to the burial of e-waste in a dedicated space in the landmass. Landfills are one of the most traditional, inexpensive, and oldest methods of waste management. Electrolysis is a hopeful preference for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen by using electricity in a smaller unit called an electrolyzer. The electrolytic system consists of an anode and cathode compartment.
