Abstract:

Production of waste of electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) increases every year and this rare secondary raw material contains a large number of precious metals. This work describes the processing of used processors on personal computers for the purpose of gold recovery. In the paper there are described individual types of processors, methods of separation of gold coated contacts, and conditions of hydro metallurgic processing of separated contacts in order to separate the gold.
