Urban Mining
A necessity in today’s reality
‘Urban mine’ means the stockpile of rare metals in the discarded waste electrical and electronic equipment of a society. Urban mining is the process of recovering these rare metals through mechanical and chemical treatments. Then, a mining factory is a production plant that involves both sortation and recycle of the raw materials such as metals from waste and metal scrape. Considering the increasing rate of consumption, urban mining is potentially the prominent industrial production facility of the modern urban societies.
