What can precious metals recycled from scrap PCB boards be used for?

Various metals and precious metals can be recycled from scrap PCB boards. The precious metals recycled from scrap PCB boards could be used in many different ways, like Power plant, construction and machinery manufacturing industries.

As we all know, scrap PCB boards contains resin fiber and many kinds of metals, such as gold, copper, iron, lead, tin, nickel, niobium, and rare precious metals platinum and palladium. Metal properties are different, and applicable industries are also different. for example, gold is one of the rarest, most precious and most valued metals. Gold is a jewelry and ancient universal currency, but now gold is also used in technology equipment, engines, nanotechnology and medicine, etc.

And the next thing to mention is copper. The highest metal content in the scrap PCB boards is copper, about 130 kilograms of copper per ton of scrap PCB boards. The recycled copper from scrap PCB boards is so pure that can be sold on the market or be sent to the metal dealing factory make new copper product. What’s more, copper as a non-ferrous metal with electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, ductility, corrosion resistance and wear resistance. It is widely used in electric power, electronics, machinery and metallurgy, transportation, light industry, and other fields. Copper is second only to aluminum in the consumption of non-ferrous metal materials.
