Water Compatible Resin for Separation and Recovery of Dissolved Precious Metals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polystyrene-grafted-polyglycidol (PS-PG), a water-compatible resin, is applied for the extraction of precious metal in effluents of electroplating process. The extractions of gold (I) and silver (I) cyanide using this resin are investigated. More than 99% of gold and 99% of silver ions of the originally dissolved could be extracted from the aqueous phase to polymer phase. Recycling of the resins is possible and no deterioration in extraction performance was observed. Thiolation on the chemical structure shows improvement on the extraction capability and separation efficiency. The PS-PG group resin is a good option for metal extraction and separation because it is economical, environmentalfriendly, non-toxic, non-flammable and inexpensive.

Computer circuit board scrap was first treated with one part concentrated nitric acid and two parts water at 70 degrees C for 1 h. This step dissolved the base metals, thereby liberating the chips from the boards. After solid-liquid separation, the chips, intermixed with some metallic flakes and tin oxide precipitate, were mechanically crushed to liberate the base and precious metals contained ...
