e-WASTE PLANT

EST for 1st Level Treatment

Input

e-waste items like TV, refrigerator and Personal Computers (PC) Unit

Operations:

There are three units operations at first level of e-waste treatment

1. Decontamination : Removal of all dust and semi solid masses
2. Dismantling -manual/mechanized breaking
3. Segregation
All the three unit operations are dry processes, which do not require usage of water.

Decontamination

The first treatment step is to decontaminate e-waste and render it nonhazardous. This involves removal of all types of dust and semisolid

Dismantling

The decontaminated e-waste or the e-waste requiring no decontamination are dismantled to remove the components from the used equipments. The dismantling process could be manual or mechanized requiring adequate safety measures to be followed in the operations

Segregation

After dismantling the components are segregated into hazardous and nonhazardous components of e-waste fractions to be sent for 3rd level treatment

Output:

1. Segregated hazardous wastes like CFC, Hg Switches, batteries and capacitors
2. Decontaminated e-waste consisting of segregated non-hazardous ewaste like plastic, CRT, circuit board and cables
