Embodiment 1)

[0024] The method for leaching copper in waste printed circuit boards by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans of the present embodiment has the following steps:

[0025] ① Pretreatment of waste printed circuit boards. Remove the electronic components from the waste printed circuit board PCBs from an electronics factory in Changzhou, then crush and grind them into powder, and pass the ground waste PCBs powder through a sieve hole of 100 μm to 200 μm (the waste printed circuit board obtained by grinding in this example The powder passes through a 200μm sieve), and the waste PCBs powder that passes through the sieve is collected for processing.

[0026] After the discarded PCBs processed in this embodiment were ground and sieved, their main metal content was analyzed.

[0027] The main metal content is shown in Table 1 below:

[0029]

[0030] ② domestication of strains.

[0031] The sludge extracted from the a...

Embodiment 2)

[0051] The rest of the method for leaching copper in waste printed circuit boards by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans in this embodiment is the same as in Example 1, except that step ④ adds step ① to the strain culture system that has been cultivated in step ③ for 64 hours. When processing the waste PCBs powder obtained, the amount of PCBs powder added is 20g / L; after adding PCBs powder A. ferrooxidans The leaching reaction ended when the culture was continued for 120 hours; after the leaching reaction, the leaching rate of copper in discarded PCBs was determined to be 88.6%.

Embodiment 3)

[0053] The rest of the method for leaching copper in waste printed circuit boards by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans in this embodiment is the same as in Example 1, except that in the leaching process of step ④, the dissolved oxygen in the culture solution in the 5l fermenter is controlled At 30% to 40%, after the leaching reaction, the leaching rate of copper in waste PCBs was determined to be 96.7%.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for leaching copper in a waste printed circuit board by means of acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. According to the method, the acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is promoted to leach the copper in the waste printed circuit board through two-stage dissolved oxygen control. The method for leaching the copper in the waste printed circuit board by means of the acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans comprises the steps that firstly, the acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans obtained after copper resistance domestication is completed is cultured under the low dissolved oxygen condition till the acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans growth mass approaches the maximum value; secondly, waste printed circuit board powder is added to an acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans culture system, the content of dissolved oxygen in the acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans culture system is increased after the waste printed circuit board powder is added, and the copper in the waste printed circuit board is leached by means of the acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans under the high dissolved oxygen condition. By the adoption of the method, the acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans concentration and the copper leaching rate are both maximized, and the overall leaching time is greatly shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for recovering copper in waste printed circuit boards, in particular to a method for leaching copper in waste printed circuit boards by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. Background technique [0002] Waste printed circuit boards (Printed Circuit Boards, PCBs) usually contain about 40% metal, of which copper is the main component, with a content as high as 20% to 30%. It is estimated that my country needs to process more than 500,000 tons of PCBs every year and it is growing at a rate of 22%. If the disposal and recycling of waste PCBs can be realized, it can not only solve the problem of environmental pollution, but also realize the effective recovery of metals, which will be of great significance to the sustainable development of my country's PCBs industry. [0003] At present, there are mainly physical, chemical and biological methods for extracting copper from PCBs. The physical method has relatively high evaluation indi...
