Physical Separation and Leaching for Waste Printer Recycling
This study was conducted to recover valuable metals from used PCBS by physical separation and leaching. The PCBs was crushed, sieved, classified by zig zag classifier and magnetic constituents were removed by the magnetic separation. The non-magnetic constituents of sizes between 1.2 and 0.6 mm especially containing high quantity of Cu (e.g. 83% on metal base and 31% on total base) were used for the leaching experiment. The effect of the nature and concentration of acids and reaction temperature were investigated. The Cu leaching rate was 98.5% in 2M nitric acid, pulp density 100g/L, 90℃, 300rpm, 1hr leaching while that was negligible in sulfuric and hydrochloric acids.
