A kind of method extracting metallic copper from waste printed circuit board
Technical field
The invention belongs to salvage material field, relate to a kind of method extracting metallic copper, be specifically related to a kind of method extracting metallic copper from waste printed circuit board.
Background technology
Printed-wiring board (PWB) (PrintedcircuitBonds, PCBs) is that substrate, copper rivet on substrate and Copper Foil and the electronic devices and components etc. prepared by resin and glass fiber material are formed.Printed-wiring board (PWB) is widely used in the fields such as information, communication, electronics, military affairs, space flight.Along with the development of science and technology and the continuous expansion of every field demand printed-wiring board (PWB), the quantity also sharp increase of the waste printed circuit board produced.Multiple hazardous and noxious substances on the one hand in waste printed circuit board has to pass through recycling; Heavy metal element on the other hand in waste printed circuit board substrate has again high resource recycling and is worth, and is a kind of potential secondary resource.Therefore, rationally the effective waste printed circuit board that reclaims all has great significance to economy and environmental protection.
At present, the technology extracting metal both at home and abroad from old circuit board is mainly four kinds, i.e. mechanical treatment technology, heat treatment technics, hydrometallurgical technology and biotechnology.
What mechanical treatment technology mainly adopted is physical method, first realizes waste printed circuit board metal by fragmentation and nonmetallicly to dissociate, different then according to institute's containing metal and nonmetal character, utilizes different sorting ways to be separated by these materials.The mechanical treatment technology of discarded circuit board has: disassemble, fragmentation, pneumatic separating, magnetic separation, screening, eddy current sorting, electric separation etc.This method can be separated with nonmetal realization preferably to metal, and its flow process is simple, and to environment without destruction, but will pulverize waste printed circuit board substrate during sorting, after sorting, the purity of each component of gained is not high, can not directly be recycled by industry.
Hydrometallurgical technology processes waste and old circuit board with the acid of strong oxidizing property, the metal ion then in purification leach liquor, adopts displacement or electrolysis treatment technique Footwall drift.The shortcoming of the method is that the strong oxidizers such as the nitric acid used can discharge NO in treating processes
x, contaminate environment, and create a large amount of waste liquid, easily cause secondary pollution.In addition, when leaching the metal in substrate with the strong acid such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, can there is oxidation and be destroyed in substrate non-metallic material on the one hand; The metal ion dissolved on the other hand also can destroy the molecular structure of non-metallic material on substrate makes non-metallic material performance reduce.
Heat treatment technics old circuit board is placed in high-temperature smelting pot burn, and removes the inorganic components such as resin, recycles the precious metal in pyrogenic process and electrolytic process recovery lime-ash afterwards.The shortcoming of present method is: can produce a large amount of smog also having the toxic substances such as dioxin, furans and polychlorobiphenyl in burning process, there is secondary pollution and personnel safety hidden danger.
Biotechnology a kind ofly utilizes microorganism to carry out the technology of specific absorption or cooperation to special metal ion.This method technique is simple, running cost is low, easy and simple to handle, but the cultivation fee of microorganism is comparatively large and treatment cycle is longer.At present, the correlative study of biological process is still in laboratory stage.
Hydrometallurgical technology and heat treatment technics grow up on the basis that metalliferous mineral is smelted, and technology is comparatively ripe, and cost is lower, and Footwall drift purity is higher.Relative to heat treatment technics, hydrometallurgical technology needs to consume the leaching that a large amount of chemical reagent carries out metal, but technique is simply ripe, and do not produce a large amount of toxic and harmful, energy consumption is less, and proper handling can greatly reduce the pollution to environment.For hydrometallurgical technology, the key problem in technology extracting copper is the purity problem etc. of the leaching aspect of copper and the copper of extraction.At present, the technology of conventional wet underwater welding copper is relatively loaded down with trivial details, not only relate to the configuration of complicated leaching copper system solution, as complexing agent, strong oxidizer, extraction agent, the choosing and consumption of strippant, also can produce a large amount of toxic and harmful contaminate environment in the process extracting copper.
Summary of the invention
The present invention seeks to provide a kind of method extracting metallic copper from waste printed circuit board to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art.
For achieving the above object, the technical solution used in the present invention is: a kind of method extracting metallic copper from waste printed circuit board, and it comprises the following steps:
A the upper layer of waste printed circuit board is separated from its substrate by ();
(b) with described upper layer be anode, titanium plate is negative electrode, copper-bath for electrolytic solution, form the electrolyzer of open circuit after connecting direct supply;
