Of the various mechanical metal recycling techniques employed in electronic scrap processing, air table separation, magnetic separation and eddy current separation technolo gies have proved to be the most commercially successful. In addition, it is very important, even indispensable, that, prior to the physical processing of electronic scrap, selective dis mantling and identification (if necessary) be employed. It is, however, recognized that problems such as process optimiza tion and organics handling remain and that in-depth charac terization of electronic scrap will be essential in this context.

Key Words: Mechanical recycling • electronic scrap • selective dismantling • mechanical separation • identification
