Acta Montanistica Slovaca Ročník 16 (2011), číslo 2, 128131 128 Leaching of gold, silver and accompanying metals from circuit boards (PCBs) waste Jana Ficeriová1, Peter Baláž1 and Eberhard Gock2 AuAg noble metal wastes represent a wide range of waste types and forms, with various accompanying metallic elements.
Figure 2: Difragtogram of PCBs sample Gold separation from other metals has been done using HNO 3 as a solvent in leaching process, gold in the solid residues and others metals in the filtrate. Then Solid residue is separated from filtrate. Gold of solid residue is leaching with aqua regia and it turn into as an ionic complex [HAuCl] 4.
This process control is relatively easy compared to other surface treatment processes. 3. Electroless nickel/gold plating, electroless / gold plating process is not as simple as organic coating, electroless nickel/gold dip seems to give the PCB a thick armor; In addition, the electroless nickel plating / gold leaching process is not like ...
Gold Extraction Methods Although new process are being proposed on a regular basis, there have in fact been no dramatic changes in the metallurgical techniques for gold extraction since the introduction of the cyanide process (cyanide leaching or cyanidation) by McArthur and Forrester in .
• The thiosulfate leaching of gold from waste PCBs exhibits that gold could be leached with good recovery under specific conditions. Recovery of gold was found to be highly dependent on the concentration of copper sulfate, ammonium thiosulfate, pH and pulp density.
Ewaste production in great amounts and its problems, which challenge the field of Waste and Environment Management, stem from the increase in the production of electronic appliances, diversityseeking consumers, and perishable products. To solve the problems and extract valuable metals by hydrometallurgy, leaching and organic solvent are used.
Thiosulfate leaching offers a number of benefits related to gold recovery yields and environmental concerns: Thiosulfate leaching of gold ores has great potential to reduce the impact on the environment. Unlike cyanide, which is highly toxic, the chemicals used in the thiosulfate leaching process are benign.
Gold extraction refers to the processes required to extract gold from its may require a combination of comminution, mineral processing, hydrometallurgical, and pyrometallurgical processes to be performed on the ore.. Gold mining from alluvium ores was once achieved by techniques associated with placer mining such as simple gold panning and sluicing, resulting in direct recovery of ...
Simple method for extracting gold from electrical and electronic wastes using hydrometallurgical process Mohammad Aali Dehchenari1, Saeed Hosseinpoor2, Rim Aali3*, Nilowfar Salighehdar Iran4, Mohsen Mehdipour5 1BSc of Mechanic Engineering,Young Researchers and Elite Club, Majlesi Branch, Islamic Azad University, Isfan, Iran 2Instructor of Civil Engineering – Structure, Department of ...
Gold Leaching( carbon in leach) process is widely used in the newly built gold leaching plants in recent years, and a lot of plants are changing into CIL as well. Gold Leaching CIL process is suitable for the treatment of oxidized gold ore with low sulfur content and mud content. It is unsuitable for the gold ore with highgrade silver.
Dec 30, 2011· The leaching of gold from the scrap mobile phone PCBs by electrogenerated chlorine as an oxidant and its recovery by ion exchange process was investigated. The leaching experiments were carried out by employing separate leaching reactor connected with .
ENEPIG PCB Technology As a surface finishing,Electroless nickel/electroless palladium/immersion gold (ENEPIG) has received increased attention for both packaging/ICsubstrate and PWB applications. With a lower gold thickness than conventional electroless nickel / immersion gold (ENIG) the ENEPIG finish offers the potential for higher reliability, better performance and reduced cost.
PDF | Printed circuit boards (PCBs), a typical end of life electronic waste, was collected from an Ewaste recycling company located in the Netherlands. Cu and precious metal concentration ...
precious metals from PCBs using aqua regia as a leachant. The most significant achievement of this research was synthesis of pure gold nanoparticles. Sheng and Etsell [9] investigated leaching of gold from computer chips. The first stage was leaching of base metals with nitric acid and the second, leaching of gold with
Sep 29, 2015· This paper presents a promising hydrometallurgical process to recover precious metals from waste PCBs. To simplify the metal leaching process, large pieces of PCBs .
Gold recovery from waste mobile phones PCBs using ammonia thiosulphate leaching and copper cementation process by Ramphagane Frank Nchabeleng Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Engineering: Chemical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology
Highlights: • Printed circuit boards (PCB) of mobile phones have large amounts of metals with high economic value such as gold and silver. • Dissolution of gold was done with a cyanidebased reagent and silver with nitric acid. • Leaching of PCB with Na{sub 2}S{sub 2}O{sub 3} and (NH{sub 4 ...
Removing the goldbearing rock from the ground is just the first step. To isolate pure gold, mining companies use a complex extraction process. The first step in this process is breaking down large chunks of rock into smaller pieces. At a mill, large machines known as crushers reduce the ore to ...
