Abstract
Plastic is non-biodegradable material, it’s demand is increasing day to day, because of light weight, highly electrical resistance, easy to shape and long life, more used in electrical and electronic equipment for makeup wire insulator, equipment body, Plates, switches, and many other purposes. If E-waste are open dumping, plastics has many adverse effects on the human life and environment, that’s way we need recycling, recovery and disposal of plastic to prevent from the adverse effect. E-waste also contains harmful materials like arsenic, mercury, cadmium and led, which affects the environment and human life. The present study deals with the treatment of E-waste by three methods like Saline water treatment, termite soil treatment and ferric chloride treatment. In the experiment work 1.130 kg E-waste PCB taken and manually dismantled PCB, after dismantling the total weight of PCB is1.100 kg, first manually separated the metal, glass, light LDPE films and plastic and noted that the weight of metal is 375 gm; glass is 10gm, light LDPE film is 25 gm and plastic is 690 gm. The E-waste plastic treated by saline water and results showed that the after ten days green layer of E-waste plastic removal started and after 25 days copper layer colour changed into light brown whereas variation in pH between 6 to 7. The second treatment of E-waste plastic carried out by termite soil after 30 days it has been observed that upper layer of green colour is light dull and degradation slowly started. Third treatment of E-waste plastic carried out by ferric chloride after 30 days it has been observed that upper layer of green colour is dull and degradation started whereas variation in pH between 4.5 to 5.5. The degradation of E-waste by the above method is slow process and continuous, required continuous monitoring.
