1. Price Secrets: The Triple Game Behind Every Gram of Silver In April 2025, the silver paste recycling market in Beijing showed a “polarized” pattern: Photovoltaic silver paste waste (containing 80%-95% silver): real-time price of 6.8-7.2 yuan / gram, up 22% compared to the same period last year, mainly driven by the explosive growth in … Read more
Recently, a “technological breakthrough” has emerged in the circuit board recycling industry! A company in Anhui has applied for a new patent, intriguingly titled “A Device for Hydrometallurgical Recovery of Precious Metals from Waste Circuit Boards”—doesn’t the name alone make you feel like precious metals are calling out to you? In simple terms, the biggest … Read more
The recycling of waste circuit boards is a promising industry, but it also requires consideration of its specific risks and challenges. 1. Potential of Waste Circuit Board Recycling Waste circuit boards contain various metals and non-metal materials, such as copper, iron, aluminum, tin, nickel, etc., including small amounts of precious metals like gold and silver. … Read more
In the recycling of waste items, a common item in the market is the circuit boards from old electronics, such as those from old mobile phones and computers, or from cars. In the past, these items were not recycled, but now they have become popular products. The recycling price for mixed circuit boards ranges from … Read more
Waste circuit boards, as typical electronic waste disassembly components, are among the most challenging electronic waste to process due to their dense structure, high metal content, complex composition, and the presence of brominated flame retardants. Over the past decade, extensive research has been conducted on resource recovery from waste circuit boards, leading to the development … Read more
With the rapid development of electronic technology, there has been an explosive growth in global electronic products, making the disposal of electronic waste increasingly challenging. Unscientific disposal methods can produce harmful substances such as polychlorinated biphenyls, polybrominated biphenyls, polyvinyl chloride, lead, cadmium, and mercury, leading to severe environmental pollution and health issues.Professor Huang Xian’s team … Read more
Waste printed circuit boards (PCBs) contain high-grade precious metals and are an important part of the electronic waste value chain. However, our country lacks key technologies for environmentally friendly extraction of precious metals. For a long time, outdated processes such as open-air incineration and acid leaching have been used to extract metals, resulting in serious … Read more
Recycling Market Value The price of waste circuit boards mainly depends on the content of precious metals inside. For example, the price of a ton of waste circuit boards from TV circuit boards is around 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. A ton of computer boards typically contains about: 300-500g of gold, 130kg of copper, 10kg of … Read more
