Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a composite material composed of a metal and a non-metal such as a printed circuit board used in the field of industrial electronics and the like (especially defective products and Waste material), and more specifically, a method of separating and recovering valuable metals from composite materials obtained by pulverizing the above-mentioned composite material, using a difference in the shape of the powder particles to separate metal particles from non-metal particles. Separated into
The present invention relates to a method for recovering each or at least one of them as valuables for recycling. 2. Description of the Related Art In general, a glass epoxy resin substrate as a printed circuit board is produced in large quantities in the electronics industry, and accordingly, a large amount of waste materials and defective products are produced in the manufacturing process. Since these waste materials are composed of resin such as glass fiber and plastic as materials, and metals such as copper, nickel, gold and silver used as circuit patterns, they are not easily crushed and the resin itself is cured by heat. It is difficult to re-melt due to its nature, and in many cases it is landfilled without being recycled. When expensive printed materials such as copper and nickel are coated on printed circuit boards for economic reasons, the thickness of the metal may be 30 μm or more. When expensive noble metals such as gold, silver or palladium are applied, a technique of etching only the metal by etching the substrate surface is also known. [0004] However, the above-mentioned recovery technique requires a wastewater treatment facility to recover valuable metals, and the remaining substrate is treated by landfilling or incineration. In this case, there is a problem that these resin bodies do not corrode in the soil even when buried, and there is a problem in that incineration generates harmful gases such as hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, and dioxin, thereby increasing the processing cost. Yes, there was no fundamental solution. In recent years, there has been known a method in which a composite material such as the waste substrate is once cut by a shearing machine and then ground by a crusher and separated by specific gravity using a dry cyclone or the like. Separation of metal and resin was incomplete. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and it is possible to obtain a valuable material by subjecting particles crushed to a fine particle size to a specific sorter. An object of the present invention is to accurately separate a metal component and a nonmetallic component such as resin and glass fiber. Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, have set the object to be processed to 0.1%.
Utilizing the difference in the shape of the product resulting from the difference in malleability between metal and non-metal obtained by crushing to 8 mm or less and separating the metal into non-metal, valuable metal whose shape is close to a sphere and non-metal whose shape is far from a sphere The present inventors have found a method capable of accurately separating the particles, and have provided the method of the present invention. That is, according to the present invention, after a composite material composed of a metal portion and a non-metal portion is shear-ruptured to obtain coarse particles of a predetermined size, a pulverizer is used until the metal portion and the non-metal portion are separated. Crushed into a mixed powder of metal particles and non-metal particles,
Next, the mixed powder is continuously supplied onto a belt conveyor inclined at an arbitrary angle, the spherical metal particles are moved toward the inclined side of the belt conveyor, and the non-spherical non-metal particles are moved toward the traveling direction of the belt conveyor. The present invention relates to a method for separating and recovering valuable resources from a composite material, which is characterized by separating and recovering by discharging. The material to be processed to which the method of the present invention is applied is, for example, a printed wiring board, and is a composite material of a resin body and a metal in any other form, as well as a waste material or a piece of a glass epoxy resin substrate. Can all be processed by the method of the present invention. The material to be treated is first cut or roughly crushed into about 1 cm square or less by a shear (shear) or the like, and then crushed to 0.8 mm or less using a crusher such as a hammer mill. The metal part with high malleability becomes spherical particles close to a sphere,
The plastic and glass fiber parts are crushed into flat and needle-like particles. Since the pulverized product thus obtained is a mixture of valuable metal particles and resin particles, it is separated by a separator in the next step. In this case, when the pulverized product is continuously supplied onto a belt conveyor inclined at an arbitrary angle in a direction perpendicular to the traveling direction, the particles roll forward on the belt conveyor while falling down on the slope. Those with a high rolling speed are discharged to the front, those with a low rolling speed are discharged to the front, and those that do not roll are discharged to the head in the traveling direction of the belt conveyor. The rolling speed is higher as the shape is closer to a sphere, or as the diameter of the particle is larger, or as the density is higher, so that the metal particles having these characteristics fall forward. Conversely, most of the plastic and glass fibers are discharged to the head of the belt conveyor. In this case, the metal particles can be separated from the non-metal particles with high accuracy by selecting a belt made of a material having a certain coefficient of friction and appropriately setting the inclination angle and the belt speed. It is. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Examples, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Example 1 A glass epoxy substrate having a copper circuit pattern formed on both sides as a material to be treated was sheared and fractured to about 1 cm square by a shearing machine, and then ground to 0.8 mm or less by a hammer mill.
Separation was performed so that each particle was substantially composed of a single substance. The composition of this substrate is 30% by weight of copper, 18% by weight of glass fiber, and 52% by weight of a cured epoxy resin. After that, fine particles were removed using a dry classifier to improve the separation accuracy in the next separation / separation step.Fortunately, metals such as copper were difficult to become fine, and almost no particles were removed. Not included. Next, the obtained pulverized particles are continuously supplied onto a belt conveyor running at a belt width of 250 mm inclined at 25 degrees and a belt speed of 180 mm / sec. The resulting material was rolled down on a belt, collected in a product collection box provided on the side of the belt conveyor, and non-metal particles were discharged to a belt conveyor head. Next, the metal particles mainly obtained in the above step were supplied again to the above-mentioned belt conveyor inclined at 20 degrees, and the mixed non-metal particles were separated to increase the purity. Since non-metallic particles and small-sized copper particles were mixed into the belt conveyor head in the above process, the copper particles were again sorted on a belt conveyor having an inclination angle of 25 degrees and a belt speed of 400 mm / sec to remove the copper particles from the side of the belt conveyor. To increase the actual yield of copper in combination with the copper particles obtained in the previous step. The non-metal particles collected in the belt conveyor head were combined with the particles concentrated in the belt conveyor head in the first step to obtain a non-metal recovered product. Chemical analysis was performed on two products, a metal recovery product and a non-metal recovery product, obtained from a series of steps, and the grade and actual yield of each product were determined. The results are shown in Table 1 as "separation test results". As a result, the copper grade was 88% and the actual copper yield was 9
The result was as high as 5.5%. [Table 1] As described above, according to the method of the present invention, for example, valuable metals in waste printed circuit boards can be recovered as high-purity substances by simple means, and other non-metallic substances can be separated and recovered. Not only can be reused, but also the recovered nonmetallic valuable material can be effectively used as a filler for resin structures and the like, and has excellent effects.
