Cover Story: This study developed a two-stage process for the physical separation of components from waste printed circuit boards, using gravity to recover copper. The boards were ground and placed on a shaking table for separation of coarse particles (>300 µm) and a multi-gravity separator (MGS) for separation of fine particles (<300 µm). Comprehensive characterization was performed using X-ray fluorescence analysis, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and mineral release analysis. A total of 93.81% of the copper was recovered in clean concentrates, which represents 44.32% of the total mass, while only 2.74% of the copper was lost in the tailings. View this paper
