| Description |
Novel and simple flow-sheet has been reported to process integrated circuits (ICs) for effective recovery of
metals. The depopulated ICs from waste PCBs were pulverised, beneficiated and leached in nitric acid. From the
nitrate leach liquor, Fe was removed at pH 3.5, temperature 60 °C and air sparging. Subsequently, 99.99% Ag
was precipitated as AgCl using 5% NaCl in mixing time 10 min. Further, 99.99% Cu was extracted from the
filtrate using 20% LIX 984 N along with 2% isodecanol (ID) diluted in kerosene at pH 2.97, organic to aqueous
phase ratio 1 in 10 min, leaving Ni in the raffinate. From the obtained pure solutions, salts of Cu and Ni could be
produced using evaporation technique. The developed hydrometallurgical process flow-sheet to recover valuables from the nitrate leach liquor of waste ICs has the potential to be commercialised after pilot/ scale-up trial
validations.
