Gold Plated Screw Recycling: A Treasure Hidden in Electronic Products

With the rapid development of technology, metal surface treatment processes are becoming increasingly important, especially gold plating processes. Gold plating can not only improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of metals, but also make them have good conductivity and electric shock. In fields such as electronics, aviation, and aerospace, metal parts usually require gold plating, and the most common one is gold-plated screws. However, these gold-plated screws will inevitably be damaged or scrapped over time during use, so recycling these gold-plated screws is particularly important.

The Current Situation of Gold Plated Screw Recycling

At present, the recycling of gold-plated screws mainly relies on manual disassembly and some basic mechanical equipment. This approach is not only inefficient, but also prone to resource waste and environmental pollution. In addition, due to the relatively low proportion of gold-plated screws in waste electronic products and the high difficulty of recycling, many enterprises still lack sufficient power to invest in the gold-plated screw recycling market.

Method for Recycling Gold-plated Screws

1. Classification recycling: In order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of gold plated screw recycling, the method of classification recycling can be adopted. In the process of dismantling waste electronic products, various metal materials shall be separated and classified first to ensure that gold plated screws will not be mixed with other materials. In addition, a detailed record of the shape, size, and material of the gold-plated screws can help improve the recycling effect.

2. Specialized disassembly: By using specialized disassembly equipment and technology, waste electronic products can be efficiently disassembled in a short period of time, improving the recovery rate of gold-plated screws. In addition, it can also reduce the damage to other materials during the disassembly process and reduce the pollution of waste electronic products to the environment.

3. Chemical extraction: Chemical method is currently the most commonly used method for gold plating recovery. This method mainly involves dissolving the metal from waste gold-plated screws through the dissolution of acid or alkali, and then extracting the metal through precipitation, filtration, and other steps. The advantages are simple operation and low cost, while the disadvantages are low treatment efficiency and the possibility of producing toxic gases and wastewater, which can cause secondary pollution to the environment.

4. Electrochemical method: Electrochemical method is another commonly used method for gold plating recovery. It utilizes the principle of electrolysis to extract the metal from waste gold-plated screws. This method has the advantages of high processing efficiency, good product quality, and low environmental pollution, but the equipment investment is large and the operation is more complex.

In the future, with the development of science and technology, the recycling technology of gold-plated screws will continue to progress, achieving more efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical recycling, and making contributions to the sustainable development of humanity.
