The recycling process in factories:
Integrative recycling in smelting processes (Pyrometallurgy)
Main technology: Smelting processes at high temperatures (up to 1,200°C) in sophisticated facilities such as ISA-Smelter or MHK (Multi-Metal Recycling Plant). Other plants use a combination of hybrid processes that combine melting (Pyrometallurgy) and chemical dissolution (Hydrometallurgy).
Electronic waste recycling process
This is the space to introduce the Product section and showcase the types of products available.
The recycling process in factories:
crushing
Mechanical equipment crushes the waste into small particles.
Collection and sorting: Electronic waste (motherboards, chips, printed circuit boards) is sorted by type of material.
Collection and sorting
Electronic waste (motherboards, chips, printed circuit boards) is sorted by type of material.
Collection and sorting: Electronic waste (motherboards, chips, printed circuit boards) is sorted by type of material.
Refining
The dissolved metals are purified through electrolysis for precise separation (for example, separating copper from gold), or by processing in acidic solutions (such as nitric acid or cyanide salts) to extract metals such as gold, palladium, and silver.
Collection and sorting: Electronic waste (motherboards, chips, printed circuit boards) is sorted by type of material.
melting
The material is fed into furnaces along with other raw materials (such as copper ore). The precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium) are melted and collected at the bottom of the furnace, while non-metallic materials (plastics, fibers) are burned or filtered.
Collection and sorting: Electronic waste (motherboards, chips, printed circuit boards) is sorted by type of material.
efficiency
About 95% of the metals in waste are recovered, including copper, tin, and even rare metals like indium.
Collection and sorting: Electronic waste (motherboards, chips, printed circuit boards) is sorted by type of material.
Sustainability
The use of renewable energy and toxic gas capture systems (such as sulfur dioxide) reduces the carbon footprint.
