How is copper recovered from e-waste re-refined?

With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the frequent replacement of electronic products, the problem of waste electronic waste is becoming increasingly serious. When we recycle electronic waste, we usually get a lot of copper resources, which can actually be further refined and recycled.

E-waste rough refining technology

Rough treatment stage The first step in refining e-waste is the rough treatment stage. In this stage, waste electronic equipment is disassembled and shredded, converting waste electronics into more easily disposed materials.

After metal recycling and refining, precious metals are extracted from e-waste. Common extraction methods include leaching, chemical reduction and smelting. These methods allow efficient metal recovery and a refining process to increase the purity of the metal.

The importance of e-waste mastery and refinement

Reuse of resources E-waste contains a lot of precious metals, which are limited natural resources. Through rough refining technology, these precious resources can be effectively recovered and reused.

Environmental protection Proper disposal of harmful substances in electronic waste can effectively reduce environmental pollution and damage. Proficiency in refining technology can help reduce the adverse impact of e-waste on the environment and protect the ecological balance.

Saving energy Through the crude refining technology of electronic waste, the energy consumption of extracting metals from ores is reduced, which helps to save energy and reduce the impact of energy consumption on the environment.

Continuous technological innovation With the continuous advancement of science and technology, e-waste refining technology is also constantly innovating. Emerging separation and extraction technologies will further increase metal recovery and reduce processing costs.

E-waste refining is an environmentally friendly way to solve the problem of waste electronics. Through rough refining technology, the recycling and reuse of precious resources in electronic waste can be realized, and the pollution to the environment can be reduced. With the continuous innovation of technology and the support of policies, the prospect of e-waste refining business will become brighter. After blister copper is electrolytically refined, electrolytic copper with higher purity can be obtained, which has higher economic value and wider application.
