Recovery Procedures:-
PCB
PCB consists of heavy metals like antimony, silver, chromium,
zinc, lead, tin and copper.
It involves Heating and burning.
The Sub steps are:
Extraction of ICs. Done manually by snatching them off
Recovery of Gold.-This too is done manually by removing the gold
pins.
Generally The motherboard are heated on stove to weaken the
bond between solder and plastic and facilitate their removal. It
also benefits in Lead removal.

Preheating of Motherboard.
Extraction of gold
Recovery Procedures:
CRT
Dissembling of CRT and extraction of its components. Also
facility of Re-gunning if Necessary.

Separation of Yoke Core, Metallic Core and Copper from
Transformer.
Recovery of Rare Earth Core and copper from transformer by
boiling with water and caustic soda.
Recycling of CRT
Recovery of Copper from
transformer
Copper extraction from wires
Manual drawing of wires of copper
Extraction of copper by burning the wires.
Manufacturing of High Impact Plastic
The plastic casings are shredded and compacted to form High
Impact Plastics. These are frequently used in manufacturing
Toys.

Disposal:
The non-toxic waste will be used as landfill.
The harmful gases produces will be treated and then released
into atmosphere.
The other wastes will be compacted and can be used as a fuel

Financial analysis:

Financial analysis:
Assuming 1000 kg of raw materials in the same proportion as
in the table, the profit per day comes to around Rs. 5471.9.
The cost of setting up a plant is in the tune of 30
lakhs(including land).
The break even time is 1.82 years(assuming 300 working days
per year and raw material availability is 1000 kg/day)
Rate of Return:
1
st
Year-33%
2
nd
Year-20%
3
rd
Year-16%
Assuming that the rate of increase in waste=rate of increase in amount of raw material
processed per year
Conclusion:
The raw materials is collected from more than one major cities
hence owing to large supply of raw materials the operating cost
is low.
Proper treatment of waste material to minimize harm to
environment.
Sale of wastes as fuel to cement plants increases profit and also
reduces load on liquid fuel consumption.
