Abstract

The recovery of metals from printed circuit board(PCBs) scraps was investigated by utilizing a shape sorting method.After all electronic parts mounted on the board were removed. PCBs were pulverized to particles smaller than 1 mm by aswing hammer type impact mill in order to liberate metal components. Metals were separated from nonmetalliccomponents by an inclined vibrating plate (IVP). The metal separation efficiency was measured as a function of vihrationintensity and inclined angle. The maximum efficiency was obtained when IVP was operated at the vibration intensity(Kv)of 1.40 and the inclined angle of 10". The grade of the metal components was recovered from PCBs exceeding 90% byusing IVP.0% by using IVP.

형상분리법을 이용하여 폐 PCBs로부터 금속성분을 회수하는 연구가 수행되었다. 기판에 붙어있는 모든 전자부품을 제거한 뒤 절단기 및 cutting mill을 사용하여 -3mm이하로 조쇄하였다. 이 조쇄물을 충격형 분쇄기로 분쇄하여 금속성분들을 단체 분리하였으며 햄머의 회전속도가 분쇄물의 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 경사진동판을 사용하는 형상분리법을 이용하여 분쇄된 PCBs로부터 금속성분들을 분리 회수하는 실험을 행하였으며 경사진동판의 진동강도 및 경사각이 분리효율에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 경사진동판의 최적 조업조건은 진동간도, Kv=1.40 그리고 진동각, $ heta$=$10^{\circ}$이었다. 본 실험조건에서 회수율과 품위가 각각 90% 이상인 금속성분의 분리회수가 가능하였다.
