Abstract

Mechanical recycling of electronic scrap oriented towards overall materials recovery from obsolete electronics is being implemented worldwide. The main reason is that the amount of electronic scrap is increasing and that the content of the precious metals present is decreasing. In this context, an effective liberation of various materials like metals and plastics is a crucial step towards mechanical separation. In addition, classification of electronic scrap is also important to be able to provide an appropriate feed material for the subsequent separation process. In the present study, liberation and its impact on the separation of personal computer (PC) scrap and printed circuit board (PCB) scrap has been investigated in detail. A special equipment functioning as a shape separator and an aspirator was used for the classification of electronic scrap.
