Abstract

The chapter introduces Metal Extraction Informatics (MEI), a framework designed to optimize the extraction of critical metals from low-grade ores and e-waste. It emphasizes the use of hydrometallurgy over pyrometallurgy for e-waste recycling, highlighting the significant environmental and economic benefits. The MEI framework combines materials informatics and multi-objective optimization to balance process efficiency, costs, and environmental impact. A case study on leaching copper from waste printed circuit boards demonstrates the practical application of this framework, showcasing how it can significantly affect operating parameters and overall sustainability.
