Except for extracting gold, what materials of value can be extracted from electronic waste?

Electronic waste is mostly refer to waste circuit boards, which has great recycle value. Because we can extract gold from these waste circuit boards to get profit. However, these waste circuit boards usually content many precious metals, like gold, copper, iron, plumbum, tin and so on. So except for extracting gold, we can also extract these precious metals as well as resin fiber to get profit. Let’ s take a closer look.

Metals content in the waste circuit board

By estimate, for 1 ton computer circuit boards, it contains 0.5kg gold, 130kg copper, 10kg iron, 60kg Plumbum, 40kg tin, 36kg nickel, 40kg antimony and some other rare precious metals, like Platinum, palladium, etc., as well as resin fiber. All of them can bring economic benefit to us.

In order to extract these precious metals from electronic waste, people came up with many ways, like fire burning, chemical dissolution. However, the result of the two ways are not satisfactory. With the development of technology, people started using machine to extract metals from electronic waste, and waste circuit board recycling machine of Henan Doing Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd is one of them. It is designed for separating metals from waste circuit boards, whose process includes shredding, crushing, sieving and electrostatic separation. It has many advantages, like environmental protection, high separation rate, low cost and so on.

After processing the waste circuit board, we will get the metals and resin fiber. As for the good quality of metals, they can be sold directly in the local metal trading market or to the purification plant to purify, which have considerable price. Perhaps, you can purify the copper or gold and then sell it. The profit is much higher than selling directly.

Extracting gold is high cost and low profit. But extracting metals is easy and profitable. So if you have many electronic waste, why not start extracting metals firstly to get profit? If you are interested in extracting metals, welcome to contact us to purchase waste circuit board recycling machine.
