This invention discloses a green recycling and
precious metal extraction method for lead-free printed circuit boards, belonging to the field of
precious metal extraction technology. The method involves first freezing the circuit board with
liquid nitrogen, then crushing and air-separating it under an alternating
magnetic field. The remaining particles are then soaked in a composite
organic acid solution, treated with a combination of
ultrasound and
microwave, rinsed, and floated. The
metal particles are dissolved in a mixture of
nitric acid and
hydrogen peroxide, and a composite precipitant is added to precipitate the precious metals. The precipitate is reduced with
hydrogen to obtain crude precious metals, which are then electrolytically refined. After refining, a composite anti-oxidation film is deposited. Finally,
wastewater and
waste gas are treated using a combination of methods for
environmental protection, achieving green recycling and efficient extraction of precious metals. The optimized coordination of each step in this invention improves the
metal recovery rate and purity, resulting in refined precious metals with a purity exceeding 99.95% and an
antioxidant capacity increased by 30%-50%. The
environmentally friendly treatment effectively reduces
pollution and can be used in high-end industries, offering both economic and environmental benefits.
