Abstract:

 Electrical and electronic goods that have completed their useful life are rapidly increasing due to the development of technology and are emerging as a very difficult e-waste problem to solve. The recovery of e-waste, which continues to accumulate day by day and becomes a global crisis, is quite different from other wastes. Both in terms of disposal methods and the fact that it contains both hazardous substances and precious metals, it has attracted the attention of researchers for a while and many studies have been conducted on the subject. This study is a bibliometric analysis of studies on e-waste recycling. In the study, firstly, studies on e-waste recycling between 2003-2022 were identified from the Web of Science database covering a 20-year period. Afterwards, these studies were filtered and subjected to detailed analysis and the irrelevant ones were eliminated. The remaining 3182 studies were saved and analyzed in detail in terms of co-author, citation-source, author-citation, keyword, institution and countries using the VOSviewer program. The studies were classified and mapped in a way to guide future studies. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the most studies on this topic were conducted in China and the most productive researcher was Mai Bi-Xian, who also received the most citations. The most frequently used keywords are recycling and e-waste and the most cited journal is Environmental Science  Technology.

 Kullanım ömrünü tamamlayan elektrikli ve elektronik eşyalar, teknolojinin de gelişimine bağlı olarak hızla artmakta ve çözülmesi oldukça zor bir e-atık problemi olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Her geçen gün birikmeye devam ederek küresel bir kriz haline gelen e-atıkların geri kazanımları da diğer atıklardan oldukça farklıdır. Gerek bertaraf yöntemleri açısından gerekse içerisinde hem tehlikeli maddeleri hem de kıymetli metalleri barındırıyor olması açısından bir süredir araştırmacıların da dikkatini çekmiş ve konuya ilişkin pek çok çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma ise e-atıkların geri dönüşümü ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların bibliyometrik bir analizi üzerinedir. Çalışmada öncelikle Web of Science veri tabanından 20 yıllık süreci kapsayacak şekilde e-atıkların geri dönüşümü üzerine 2003-2022 yılları arasında yapılan çalışmalar belirlenmiştir. Sonrasında bu çalışmalar filtrelenerek ve detaylı incelemeye tabii tutularak ilgisiz olanlar elenmiştir. Kalan 3182 çalışma kaydedilerek, VOSviewer programı kullanılarak ortak yazar, atıf-kaynak, yazar-atıf, anahtar sözcük, kurum ve ülkeler açısından detaylı analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmalar sonraki çalışmalara yön verecek şekilde sınıflandırılmış ve haritaları çıkarılmıştır. Analiz çalışmalarında sonuç olarak bu konuya ilişkin en çok çalışmanın Çinde yapıldığı, en verimli araştırmacının aynı zamanda en çok atıfı da alan Mai Bi-Xian olduğu belirlenmiştir. En sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler recycling ve e-waste olup en çok atıf alan dergi ise Environmental Science  Technology dergisidir.
