At present, the research and application of mechanical grinding desoldering and thermal desoldering are the most common. Mechanical grinding can efficiently peel off the solder feet to achieve the recycling of components (ECs), but it has high requirements for cutting and grinding equipment, and there is still a risk of pollution from heat generation during the grinding process; thermal desoldering technology can be roughly divided into hot air, mineral oil, paraffin, fine sand, infrared, laser, molten tin and other typical methods according to different heating media. This type of desoldering technology is relatively mature, especially the use of molten tin furnaces.
