Abstract
A process for recycling printed circuit boards includes pyrolyzing a number printed circuit boards to from an ash. Metals form the circuit boards are separated from the ash by density separation techniques. The metals are formed into a slurry electrode. The slurry electrode and a deposition electrode are placed in an electrolyte bath and the metals are electrorefined to form bars of metal. The slurry electrode is made by combining powderized metals with carbon powder and an ionic liquid to form an electrode paste. The electrode paste is placed inside a container with a screen to form the slurry electrode.

- The fast pace of product life cycles in the electronics and computer industry results in large amounts of obsolete electronic products. These electronic products represent a landfill problem. These products often have heavy metals that can seep into ground water and contaminate water supplies. Recent legislation in Europe, China and several US states now mandate that in the near future electronics' manufactures must to take back their products at the end of the products life. In addition, the stringent rules of many landfills no longer allow these products to be thrown away. One of the main problems in recycling electrical and electronics products is the circuit boards. The circuit boards and their components have most of the heavy metals and may contain lead, mercury, cadmium and chromium. All of which are being strictly regulated. Presently, the only way to separate and extract these metals is to expose the circuit board to high temperatures until the metals vaporize and then the specific heavy metal can be separated and recovered. Unfortunately, this process is expensive, requires a tremendous amount of energy and introduces toxic off gasses into the atmosphere.
- Thus there exists a need for a process for recycling circuit boards.
- A process for recycling printed circuit boards includes pyrolyzing a number printed circuit boards to from an ash. Metals from the circuit boards are separated from the ash by density separation techniques. The metals are formed into a slurry electrode. The slurry electrode and a deposition electrode are placed in an electrolyte bath and the metals are electrorefined to form bars of metal.

Thecrude oil 18 can be reused as fuel oil or as feedstock. The flame retardant 20 can either be disposed of safely or reused. Thecarbon 22 can be added to fertilizer or safely land filled. The other output of thepyrolysis 14 is an ash containing metals andsilica 24 andcarbon 22. The ash is ground and density separated 26. Thedensity separation 26 results insilica 28 which may be sold to a cement plant, carbon which can be safely land filled andmetals 30 in a powdered form. The powderedmetals 30 are combined with anionic liquid 32 to form asolution 34. Thesolution 36 then is electrorefined 38 and results inpure metals 40.

Theelectrodes electrolytic bath 60 containing anionic liquid 62 which covers theelectrodes voltage source 62 is connected to theelectrodes - In operation, the slurry electrode will contain many metals, such as copper, zinc and silver. The deposition electrode will be formed of the metal that has the lowest oxidation reduction potential, for example copper. The voltage will be increased until a current starts to flow. This results in the copper in the
slurry electrode 52 being plated onto thedeposition electrode 58. Once all the copper in theslurry electrode 52 is removed, the copper deposition electrode will be removed. Next a zinc electrode will be used as the deposition electrode. This is because the oxidation reduction potential of zinc is less than that of silver. The voltage is increased until current starts to flow. This results in the zinc in the slurry electrode being plated onto thedeposition electrode 58. Once all the zinc is removed, the process is repeated for the silver using a silver electrode. -
