Eco-friendly recovery of base and precious metals from waste printed circuit boards by step-wise glycine leaching: Process optimization, kinetics modeling, and comparative life cycle assessment

Mohammad Rezaee et al.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the step-wise glycine leaching of base and precious metals from waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) as a green alternative to cyanide for gold leaching. The optimal conditions for selective copper extraction were found to be 0.5 M glycine, 1% v/v H2O2, 20 g/l pulp density, and ambient temperature, achieving a recovery rate of 99.96%. Gold leaching in the glycine + permanganate system was studied, and it was found that 96.17% of the gold can be selectively extracted at the conditions of 4 g/l glycine, 2 g/l potassium permanganate, and room temperature. Activated carbon can be used to separate about 100% of the gold from the leach solution.

An environmentally friendly method for extraction of cobalt and molybdenum from spent catalysts using deep eutectic solvents (DESs)

Ehsan Ebrahimi et al.

Summary: In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for energy critical elements (ECEs) due to the rapid advancement of energy-related technology. Spent catalysts have the potential to be a valuable source of ECEs such as Ni, Co, Mo, W, V, and rare earth elements. This study developed an environmentally friendly process using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to recover cobalt and molybdenum from spent hydroprocessing catalysts. The experimental results showed high metal extraction, with 93% of cobalt and 87% of molybdenum being dissolved at 100 degrees C and a pulp density of 20 g/L for 48 hours. FT-IR and H-NMR analyses were conducted to investigate the formation of hydrogen bonds in the DESs.

Enhanced Gold Recovery from Alkaline Pressure Oxidized Refractory Gold Ore After its Mechanical Activation Followed by Thiosulfate Leaching

Sugyeong Lee et al.

Summary: Pressure oxidation is a widely accepted method to treat refractory gold ores, but the gold recovery from alkaline pressure oxidation discharge is generally lower. Applying mechanical activation to the pressure oxidation discharge can enhance gold recovery, and optimizing the mechanical activation conditions can further improve the recovery effect.

Thiourea Leaching: An Update on a Sustainable Approach for Gold Recovery from E-waste

Daniel A. Ray et al.

Summary: Electronic waste is a significant global issue, but it also contains valuable raw materials that make it an economic resource. Gold, one of the most valuable components in electronic waste, is a major driving force for recycling. Thiourea has gained attention as an alternative lixiviant for gold leaching. This review summarizes the recent advancements in thiourea-gold leaching studies from electronic waste, with a focus on more sustainable bioleaching-based systems and discusses sustainable methods for gold retrieval from the pregnant solution.

A cleaner approach for high-efficiency regeneration of base and precious metals from waste printed circuit boards through stepwise oxido-acidic and thiocyanate leaching

Mohammad Rezaee et al.

Summary: This study evaluated a green route for regenerating base and precious metals from waste printed circuit boards. Copper and other base metals were extracted via oxidative acid leaching, while gold was extracted using thiocyanate as a green reagent. The gold extraction was carried out using activated carbon. The final residue was found to be environmentally safe with negligible risk.

Marzieh Miar et al.

Summary: The study investigates the effects of electron-releasing and electron-withdrawing groups at para positions on the molecular structure of synthesized compounds in selected solvents and in the gas phase. Results show that intramolecular interactions between substituents and the electron donor-acceptor centers of the thiazole ring influence the relative stability of the compounds. Charge-transfer possibilities within the molecules are revealed through dipole moment values and energy gaps between occupied and unoccupied molecular orbitals.

Review of gold leaching in thiosulfate-based solutions

Feng Xie et al.

Summary: Thiosulfate is considered the most promising alternative to cyanide for gold leaching, with characteristics such as non-toxicity, low cost, and high leaching rate. Challenges and problems still exist in this system despite extensive research, leading to studies using nickel, cobalt, and iron-based catalysts to reduce thiosulfate consumption.
