Currently, any modern technology, including computers, office equipment, cars, various equipment contains precious metals that are used in their production, and therefore remain in scrap, industrial and municipal waste. Very often we see ads with the text: buy radio parts , but why does anyone need them and what is their further fate, as a rule, no one thinks about.
However, we are well aware that electronics have a limited lifespan and are also subject to obsolescence. Every year we buy new appliances and throw away old ones that pollute the environment or litter our home. And this technique contains precious metals that can be extracted and reused in production. Therefore, old or obsolete electrical equipment needs to be carefully recycled.
Western European countries have long proven the economic efficiency of using secondary precious metals. Russia and the CIS countries are also working in this direction. In the near future, all economically developed countries plan to significantly increase the integrated processing of industrial and household waste, which should become an additional source of composite and precious metals, as well as an alternative source of energy.
The process of processing raw materials containing precious metals is quite laborious and requires the use of special equipment. It begins with the reception and dismantling of electronic scrap and waste that contain precious metals, and ends with the receipt of refining concentrates, which can later become bank bars or other valuable product. As a result of processing, technical and related products can be obtained.
