Gold recovery from waste printed circuit boards of mobile phones by using microwave pyrolysis and hydrometallurgical methods

Yu-Fong Huang et al.

Summary: The study successfully recovered gold from waste printed circuit boards through processes such as microwave pyrolysis, acid leaching, solvent extraction, and oxidative precipitation. Efficient leaching of copper was achieved using a lixiviant composed of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, while gold leaching was efficient using thiourea, thiosulfate, and aqua regia. Organic solvents were ineffective in extracting gold ions from the leachate, thus oxidative precipitation process was applied. Gold precipitation efficiency was high using hydrogen peroxide or perchloric acid as oxidants. Microwave pyrolysis prevented gold loss, and perchloric acid exhibited higher selectivity for gold recovery.
