The effect of shredding and particle size in physical and chemical processing o...

Circuit boards present in most electric and electronic devices are very important components, which should be removed during sorting and dismantling operations in order to allow further adequate treatment for recovering valuable metals such as copper, nickel, zinc, lead, tin and rare elements. This recovery can be made by physical and chemical processes being size reduction by shredding the first step. In this ...

Valorização de placas de circuito impresso por hidrometalurgia

Dissertação apresentada para obtenção do grau de Doutor em Engenharia do Ambiente, pela Universidade Técnica de Lisboa, Instituto Superior Técnico. ; Este trabalho consistiu no desenvolvimento de um processo de valorização de placas de circuito impresso (PCI's) em fim de vida, por hidrometalurgia, tendo como objectivo recuperar o cobre, metal que existe em maior concentração na sua composição. As PCI's são com...

Physical and chemical processing of printed circuit boards waste

A recycling process for PCB’s is being studied, based on physical processing and hydrometallurgical treatment. PCB’s waste was shredded in a lab cutting mill, resulting a grinded material with 90% (weight) with particle size less than 2.1 mm and an average particle diameter of 1.2 mm. Chemical analysis of granulometric fractions showed that the base metals like Cu, Zn, Pb and Sn concentrated mainly in intermedi...

Leaching studies for metals recovery from printed circuit boards scrap

In this paper, the leaching behavior of the major metals present in printed circuit boards waste is evaluated, aiming at its recycling by hydrometallurgy. Several leachants were compared (sulfuric, hydrochloric and nitric acids, at 2 M H+ concentration), at temperatures of 25ºC and 90ºC and 4 hours of reaction time. Sulfuric acid leaching was not very promising concerning metals dissolution being only effective...
