Abstract

The quick technological advancement induces era of utilized electric and electronic gear waste which is
making a genuine danger the earth. Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs), as the principle constituent of the waste, are
source of base and precious metals particularly copper and gold. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are as of now being
dumped in landfills or burned which is bringing on a genuine ecological harm as toxic gasses or leached hazardous
mixes. To recover these metals from waste has dependably been a test. The review here presents the most proficient
strategy for recovering the base and precious metals; Electrowinning. Utilizing Electrowinning a setup has been
intended for the recuperation of four unique metals. The review demonstrates the recycling of Gold, Silver, Copper and
Palladium in proficient and immaculate form..
