Abstract
The integration of solvent extraction techniques into the circular economy framework offers a sustainable approach to addressing resource efficiency and metal recovery challenges. This review explores the role of solvent extraction in minimizing environmental impacts while maximizing the recovery of critical metals from waste streams, including electronic waste, industrial residues, and end-of-life products. Emphasis is placed on recent advancements in solvent systems, such as biodegradable and smart solvents, and their potential to enhance process efficiency and sustainability. The paper also highlights hybrid extraction systems and advanced separation techniques that complement solvent extraction, enabling higher recovery rates and improved selectivity. Furthermore, the significance of government initiatives, industry collaborations, and investment in sustainable technologies is discussed, underscoring their role in fostering innovation and driving widespread adoption of solvent extraction processes. By integrating solvent extraction with circular economy principles, this review advocates for a holistic approach to sustainable resource management and the development of resilient supply chains, contributing to long-term economic and environmental sustainability.
