Comprehensive Analysis of Gold Plating Material Recycling and Sources of Gold Containing Waste

With the continuous development of technology, gold plays an important role in various fields, especially in high-tech industries such as electronics, communication, and aviation. Gold has become a necessary material for these industries because of its good conductivity, corrosion resistance and Scarcity. However, in the process of production and consumption, a certain amount of gold containing waste is always generated. This article will comprehensively analyze the sources of gold plating material recycling and gold containing waste.

1、 The Importance of Gold Plating Material Recycling

Resource protection: The metal resources on Earth are limited, and gold, as a scarce resource, its reserves are increasingly decreasing. By recycling gold containing waste, the utilization rate of gold resources can be improved and the pressure on natural resource extraction can be reduced.

Environmental significance: If gold containing waste is not properly disposed of and directly discarded, it will cause pollution to the environment. Recycling gold containing waste can help reduce environmental pollution and protect the ecological environment.

Economic benefits: Gold plating material recycling can separate and extract gold from waste, further process it into new products, achieve resource reuse, and bring economic benefits to enterprises.

2、 Sources of gold containing waste

1. Electronic product manufacturing industry: Components such as connectors, sockets, and circuit boards in electronic products are usually treated with metal plating to improve conductivity and oxidation resistance. During the production process, a certain amount of gold containing waste will be generated, such as discarded circuit boards and connectors. 2. Communication industry: Components such as antennas, RF devices, and filters in communication equipment will also be treated with gold plating. Similarly, during the production process, gold containing waste will be generated, such as discarded communication equipment components, discarded antennas, etc. 3. Computer hardware manufacturing: The interfaces, slots, CPU pins, and other parts of computer hardware require gold plating treatment. During the manufacturing process, a certain amount of gold containing waste will be generated, such as discarded motherboards, discarded CPUs, etc. 4. Aerospace industry: Key components such as navigation systems and communication systems in aerospace devices also require gold plating treatment. These industries also generate gold containing waste during the production process, such as discarded aerospace components. 5. Medical device industry: Components such as biosensors and implantable devices in medical devices also require gold plating treatment. During the production process, a certain amount of gold containing waste will be generated, such as discarded medical device components. 6. Automotive manufacturing: Sensors, controllers, wiring harnesses, and other components in automobiles also require gold plating treatment. During the manufacturing process, a certain amount of gold containing waste will be generated, such as discarded car parts, discarded wiring harnesses, etc. 7. Precious metal processing industry: In the production process of precious metal products such as gold and silver jewelry and souvenirs, a certain amount of gold containing waste materials, such as metal filings and polishing mud, will be generated. 8. Optical product manufacturing industry: During the production process of optical components, lenses, and other products, a certain amount of gold containing waste is also generated, such as discarded optical coating waste. 9. Other fields: In addition to the aforementioned industries, there are also many other industries that generate gold containing waste, such as mineral smelting, chemical laboratories, etc.

3、 Method and process for recovering gold plating materials

1. Collection and classification: Firstly, collect gold containing waste and classify it according to its content, composition, etc. 2. Fragmentation treatment: Fragmentation treatment of gold containing waste for subsequent chemical treatment. 3. Chemical leaching: use chemical agents, such as Sodium cyanide, nitric acid, etc., to dissolve the metal in the gold containing waste to form a gold containing solution. 4. Metal precipitation: The gold in the gold containing solution is precipitated by chemical reduction to form a metal precipitate. 5. Metal refining: Refining metal precipitates to purify gold and improve its purity. 6. Product processing: the refined gold is reprocessed into various metal products to realize the reuse of resources.
