使用済みプリント基板中の金属回収に及ぼす熱処理の影響

Abstract

In this research, we examined the method that separates the material from the printed circuit board by the proof scale heat-treatment. The size of the printed circuit board (PCB) used for the examination was about 150 mm × 200 mm, and PCB was executed heat-treatment by two kinds of shape as received (Sample-A) and crushed (Sample-B) by hammarcrasher. The following result was obtained.The organic resin and also omine were removed by the heat treatment in both cases. In Sample-B heat-treatment, though combustion was done with stability, however, the temperature rises locally so that the organism in the board crushed by the high contact with oxygen may burn instantaneously and the combustion residue melted solidifies. In Sample-A heat-treatment, the metallic collection rate in the combustion residue was higher than Sample-B, especially Cu and Ni are collected by 90mass% or more, and Ag, Au and Pb collected were twice larger compared with Sample-B. The residue in Sample-A could be crushed comparatively easily with hammarcrasher.Therefore, to make the crushing combustion residue concentrated of the metal in the printed circuit board adjust to metallic refinement process, it is thought that we should heat-treat the printed circuit board near as received.
