Definitions

  • Printed circuit boards can be found in most electrical or electronic equipment:
  • the fourth chamber is conically shaped where the input end (610) has a diameter larger than the output end (620).
  • the output end (520) of the tertiary chamber (500) operably mates with the input end (610) of the fourth chamber.
  • the output end (620) of the fourth chamber (600) comprises a lower isolation valve (540).
  • the lower isolation valve (540) allows the apparatus to maintain a low oxygen environment while allowing processed material to be removed and collected.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un appareil et un procédé pour l'extraction de métal de matériaux complexes dans une chambre de réacteur à l'aide d'une torche à plasma dans une première ouverture de la chambre et d'une seconde ouverture à proximité de la première ouverture pour l'entrée de matériau complexe et de gaz vecteur, le trajet du matériau complexe et du gaz vecteur se situant le long du même axe que l'axe principal de la torche à plasma et ladite chambre de réacteur étant entourée d'un système de chauffage secondaire. Les éléments de la torche à plasma et du réacteur sont facilement accessibles puisqu'ils sont susceptibles de s'user en raison de la haute température.
