Hydrometallurgical Methods for Extracting Non-ferrous Metals from Electronic Gadgets

This article explores an environmentally friendly method of complex processing of printed circuit boards of cell phones in order to extract gold and other valuable components without cyanides. Thiourea was used as reagents for leaching gold and silver. A nitric acid-based solder solvent was used to...
