Abstract

The printed circuit board is rich in recyclable metals Cu, Au, Ag, Pt, Pb, etc. The precious metals such as gold are extracted from it, which is in line with the concept of resource recycling. In this paper, the theorem method was used to extract gold from waste circuit boards. The effects of reaction time, reaction temperature, theorem concentration, and Fe3 + mass concentration on gold leaching rate were investigated. The results showed that the pH was controlled at about 1, the theorem concentration was 0.12 mol/L, FeCl3 was 0.024 mol/L, the stirring speed was 300 r/min, and the leaching time was 2 h. Under the above conditions, the gold leaching rate reached 90.37 %. The theorem gold extraction method has certain potential application values due to its rapid gold dissolution, low toxicity during leaching, low price, high efficiency, and environmental protection.
