WEEE Recycling: Research, Development, and Policies covers policies, research, development, and challenges in recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The book introduces WEEE management and then covers the environmental, economic, and societal applications of e-waste recycling, focusing on the technical challenges to designing efficient and sustainable recycling processes—including physical separation, pyrometallurgical, and hydrometallurgical processes. The development of processes for recovering strategic and critical metals from urban mining is a priority for many countries, especially those having few available ores mining.
Chemical engineers, metallurgists, technicians from industry and academic researchers involved in hydrometallurgy, life cycle analysis, and recycling. University professors and students are also key readers, as more and more interest and concern is emerging around WEEE recycling in educational programs

Professor Alexandre Chagnes published 141 papers including 122 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 6 books including two books as Editor for Elsevier, 10 book chapters and 2 patents in the fields of electrochemistry and chemistry applied to lithium-ion batteries and hydrometallurgy. His research aims to develop the basic knowledge to remove technological barriers for the recovery of metals from primary and secondary resources. He created the French network of Hydrometallurgy PROMETHEE I 2014, which gathers 31 french laboratories. Professor Chagnes is currently the Director of the Industrial Partnerships at ENSG (Engineering School of Geology of Nancy) and Scientific Director of the LabEx RESSOURCES21 – a cluster of 9 laboratories focusing on the geochemical cycle of metals, raw material characterization, environmental and societal impact of mining, extractive metallurgy, and resource economics.

Gerard COTE, senior professor, has been working over thirty eight years in the field of hydrometallurgy. He is currently Deputy Director of the ENSCP in charge of industrial relationships and project leader of the ParisTech Chairs “Nuclear Engineering” and “Urban Mines” supported by AREVA and Eco-systèmes, respectively. He is author of 170 publications in peer-reviewed journals (130) and proceedings (40) in the field of solution chemistry and separation science and is inventor of 3 international patents.
