Abstract
The rapid industrialization has raise the demand for heavy metals, but the reserves of high-grade ores are diminishing. E-waste term refers to electrical and electronic products which has multiple components some are toxic and hazardous that can cause serious health and environmental issues if not handled properly. Multiple components such as discarded computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, fax machines, electric lamps, cell phones, audio equipment and batteries if improperly disposed can leach lead and other substances into soil and groundwater. Many of these products can be reused, refurnished, or recycled. E-waste contains precious materials such as gold, silver, copper, glass and plastics and also contains harmful materials like arsenic, mercury, cadmium and lead, which is affected to environment and human life. This paper include the titration and DTPA methods for the recovery of heavy metal such as Copper, Iron, Aluminum from E-waste. The estimation test were performed by AAS spectrometer using DTPA method states that 1.761ppm Copper and 117.4ppm Iron were present. The estimation test performed by titration method for Aluminum yields 80% presence of Aluminum 15% Iron and 5% other metals
