Integrated bioleaching of copper metal from waste printed circuit board—a comprehensive review of approaches and challenges

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (e-waste) is the most rapidly growing waste stream in the world, and the majority of the residues are openly disposed of in developing countries. Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) make up the major portion of e-waste, and their informal recycling can caus...
