To my knowledge, modern cyanide plants typically use a cyanide solution of 0.05% NaCN to dissolve gold from the ore. But in the case of leaching gold from the PCB scrap I think the lower concentration will be possible. If someone knows a appropriate concentration of NaCN solution to leach gold from the PCB scrap please let me know about it.
To isolate pure gold, mining companies use a complex extraction process. The first step in this process is breaking down large chunks of rock into smaller pieces. At a mill, large machines known as crushers reduce the ore to pieces no larger than road gravel. The gravel-like material then enters rotating drums filled with steel balls.
30-05-2009· As stated above, the precious metals from PCB could be recovered with high purity. Especially, the recovered gold nanoparticles could find a wide range of application such as catalysis and sensors. Our last step suggested in Fig. 1 is related to the nickel–zinc separation and will be reported in a separate paper . 4. Conclusions
The good news is that many older computer chips can be worth more than their weight in gold due to hungry vintage computer chip & CPU collectors. Most popular with chip collectors are the early Intel microprocessor chips such as the first microprocessor - the Intel 4004, and it's successors - the Intel 8008 & 8080, as well as early Intel Memory chips such as the first RAM - the Intel 3101 ...

Surface finishing has four materials. And they are Gold, Nickel, Tin, and Silver. As you possibly suspected, the type of PCB surface finish materials you use matters a lot. Plus, the reason is simple. It's because there are loads of merits and demerits for each material. So, you need to check them out and weigh your options.
21-01-2014· There a number of methods that can be used to separate the gold from a circuit board. While scraping the gold from circuit boards can be the method that recovers the most gold, it can be time consuming and is not the most effective method. A chemical circuit board stripping solution is a much more effective method of separating the gold from a circuit board.

Q.1: How to recover/ extract gold from computer parts ? Ans.: Computer parts like processors (CPUs), RAMs, motherboards, hard drives, CD/DVD drives have gold and other precious metals like silver palladium etc. Base metals like copper, brass (an alloy), tin, aluminium, lead etc. are also present there. SMPS (power supply), keyboard, cpu-fan doesn't have gold …
chemical reagents during the separation processes. In the hydrometallurgical recovery of gold from electronic waste (Fig. 2), the PCBs are leached by a suitable lixiviant, usually a er chemical pre-treatment.50 The resultant pregnant leach liquor then undergoes a separation step to obtain single metal streams from which pure metals are obtained ...
27-03-2008· I have managed to slice the gold/copper strips from the PCB eliminating the board process. I now have an average size pill bottle full of these shavings. Would it be in my best interest to now try separating the 2 or should I sell them outright not knowing what percentage of this plated scrap is gold. The boards are of 86-92 era.
29-09-2015· The experiments were carried out by separately immersing the PCB pieces (4 × 4 cm) in 1 M leaching solutions (100 ml) of HCl, HNO 3, H 2 SO 4, C 2 H 4 O 2 and C 6 H 8 O 7 in 500 ml beakers.
