Can Waste Circuit Boards Be Recycled?
Can waste circuit boards be recycled? The answer is absolutely yes.
Waste circuit boards in electronic waste are not actually “waste”. 90% of them can be recycled. Waste circuit boards contain a variety of metal and non-metal materials. One ton of waste circuit boards can be disassembled into 0.4 tons of metal and 0.6 tons of non-metal, and the recycling value is very high. However, if the recycling method is unreasonable, it may cause metal loss, which not only wastes resources but also pollutes the environment. So how to better recycle waste circuit boards has become the focus.
Generally, waste circuit boards can be divided into two categories for recycling:
1. Waste circuit boards with electronic components
Waste circuit boards with electronic components can be disassembled by electronic components dismantling machine. Different components contain different metals. Some components, such as heat sinks, can be directly sorted and sold. The disassembled motherboards are also easier to crush and sort, which reduces the work of subsequent crushing and sorting sections and increases the recovery rate of precious metals.
2. Waste circuit boards without electronic components
Waste circuit boards without electronic components can be directly crushed and recycled using circuit board recycling machine. After the waste circuit boards are torn into pieces by a shredder and crushed by a crusher, the metals and non-metals are separated by air flow separators and electrostatic separators, with a separation rate of 99%.
In conclusion, waste circuit boards can be disassembled and recycled. It should be noted that different disassembly equipment should be selected for recycling according to different types of circuit boards to maximize the environmental protection and economic benefits of waste circuit boards.
