The paper presents results of a study on the selective separation technology of ferrous and non-ferrous metals from broken light bulbs. The proposed method is to use magnetic fluids to obtain a magnetic fluid based- separation. [1] The study was conducted using three types of waste materials: regular light bulbs, auto light bulbs and neon tubes. In order to process the waste materials, a six stages technologic flow was developed: a) separation of light bulbs components; b) Physical and chemical analysis of raw materials; c) grain conditioning of the raw material; d) dry magnetic separation of ferrous components; e) magnetic fluid separation of non-magnetic material; f) recovery of the magnetic fluid adhered to the surface of the separated material grains. [2] This study shows that magnetic fluid separation is only profitable for regular and auto light bulbs and is not profitable in the case of neon tubes.

This study was carried out to recover gold, silver and other valuable metals from the printed circuit boards (PCB) of waste computers. PCB samples were crushed to under 1mm by a shredder and initially separated into 30% conducting and 70% non-conducting materials by an electrostatic separator. The conducting materials, which contained the valuable metals, were then used as the feed material for magnetic separation where it was found that 42% was magnetic and 58% non- magnetic. The non-magnetic materials contained 0.227mg/g Au and 0.697mg/g Ag. Further leaching of the non-magnetic component using 2.0M sulfuric acid and 0.2M hydrogen peroxide at 85$^{\circ}C$ extracted more than 95% copper, iron, zinc, nickel and aluminium. Au and Ag were not extracted in this solution, however, more than 95% of Au and 100% of Ag were selectively leached with a mixed solvent (0.2M ammonium thiosulfate, 0.02M copper sulfate, 0.4M ammonium hydroxide). Finally, the residues were reacted with a NaCl solution to leach out Pb while sulfuric acid was used to leach out Sn. Recoveries reached 95% and 98% in solution, respectively.

The main objective of this study is to recovery valuable metals with metal particle size distributions in waste cell phone PCBs(Printed Circuit Boards) by means of pulverization and nitric acid process. The particle size classifier also was evaluated by specific metal contents. The PCBs were pulverized by a fine pulverizer. The particle sizes were classified by 5 different sizes which were PcS1(0.2 mm below), PcS2(0.20~0.51 mm), PcS3(0.51~1.09 mm), PcS4(1.09~2.00 mm) and PcS5(2.00 mm above). Non-magnetic metals in the grinding particles were separated by a hand magnetic. And then, Cu, Co and Ni were separated by 3M nitric acid. Particle diameter of PCBs were 0.388~0.402 mm after the fine pulverizer. The sorting coefficient were 0.403~0.481. The highest metal content in PcS1. And the bigger particle diameter, the lower the valuable metals exist. The recovery rate of the valuable metals increases in smaller particle diameter with same leaching conditions. For further work, it could improve to recovery of the valuable metals effectively by means of individual treatment, multistage leaching and different leaching solvents.

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) of the printer are composed of various organic and inorganic compounds as well as metals and alloys. This study was conducted to recover valuable metals from used PCBS by physical separation and leaching. The PCBs was crushed, sieved, classified by zig zag classifier and magnetic constituents were removed by the magnetic separation. The non-magnetic constituents of sizes between 1.2 and 0.6 mm especially containing high quantity of Cu (e.g. 83% on metal base and 31% on total base) were used for the leaching experiment. The effect of the nature and concentration of acids and reaction temperature were investigated. The Cu leaching rate to 98.5% in 2M nitric acid, pulp density 100g/L, $90^{\circ}C$, 300rpm, 1hr leaching.

금속성 도선 뿐 아니라 기상 또는 액상의 직류전류를 계측하기 위해서는 비접촉으로 전류를 측정할 필요가 있다. 본 논문은 직류전류를 비접촉으로 계측하기 위한 방법 중 하나로써 패러데이효과와 누설자속을 이용하는 방법을 제안하고, 이론적 고찰 및 실험적 검증결과를 보고한다. 공극을 가진 강자성체 코어를 1차 코일에 의하여 자화하면, 공극 주위에는 누설자속이 발생한다. 이러한 누설자속의 수직성분에 의하여 자기광학소자의 자구는 자화되어, 공극의 중심과 자벽은 평행하게 된다. 한편, 2차 코일에 의하여 자기광학소자에 수직한 방향으로 자장을 인가하면, 누설자속분포는 공극의 중심을 기준으로 좌우 대칭이었던 자구의 분포에 편향이 발생한다. 이때 금속, 기체 또는 액체상태의 전류가 코어를 통과하면 자기광학소자의 자벽이 이동하게 된다. 이러한 원리에 의하여 자구 또는 자벽의 이동량을 측정하면, 코어를 통과하는 직류전류의 세기를 알 수 있다.

슬래그를 매립한 토양을 대상으로 자기분리연구를 수행하였다. 토양세척을 거친 토양과 토양세척 전 토양을 대상으로 습식자기분리와 건식자기분리를 수행하여 분리된 부분과 분리되지 않은 부분의 중금속 농도를 측정하여 중금속의 농축효과를 측정하였다. 습식자기분리의 경우 토양세척 전 시료의 자력분리율이 상대적으로 높으며 토양세척 후 시료의 경우 약 40% 정도가 자기분리 되었다. 토양 : 물의 비가 농축효과에는 큰 영향을 미치지 못하며, Fe, Pb, Cu, Zn, Cd의 세척 전 토양과 세척 후 토양의 자기분리에 의한 평균 농축비는 3.2, 2.1, 12.1, 2.5, 1.5와 17.4, 7.0, 15.7, 9.6, 7.0으로 토양 세척을 거친 경우 자기분리에 의해 토양 세척 전 토양에 비해 더 큰 토양 부피 감량효과를 기대할 수 있다. 건식자기분리의 경우에도 자기분리에 의해 중금속의 농축효과를 얻을 수 있으나 자기분리에 의한 회수율이 너무 높은 경우 오염토 저감을 기대하기 어렵다. 철과 같은 강자성체를 포함하는 토양의 경우 자기분리에 의해 토양세척의 효과와 유사하게 오염토양의 양을 줄일 수 있고, 오염이 한쪽에 농축되는 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

The widely-used measurement methods for conductivity of non-magnetic metals are van der Pauw method, Two Point Probe method and Eddy Current method. Among them a more simpler and easier method is the Eddy Current method and an instrument using the method is a Conductivity Meter which can measure a conductivity by contacting its probe on a sample surface. However, conductivity standards are essentially needed to confirm the meter's performance or to calibrate it. In this study, six kinds of the standards which are made of Cu, Al-1, Al-2, brass, Zn and SUS-316 are developed and conductivity ranges for the standards are 2.27 %IACS ~ 101.6 %IACS with measurement uncertainty of less than 0.3 %.

The study is to propose the optimal separation technique of heavy metals (Pb and Zn) contaminated in soil for improving the removal efficiency by various applicable techniques. The heavy metal contaminated soil samples near abandoned mine X-1 and X-2 were used for the study. Firstly, the wet classification process was shown more than 80% of removal efficiency for lead and zinc. Meanwhile, the magnetic separation process was shown low removal efficiency for lead and zincs because those heavy metals were non-magnetic materials. For the next step, the flotation separation process was shown approximately 24.4% of removal efficiency for zinc, while the gravity concentration process was shown approximately 57% of removal efficiency for lead, and 19.9% of removal efficiency for zinc, respectively. Therefore, zinc contaminated in soil would be effectively treated by the combination technique of the wet classification and the flotation technique. Meanwhile, lead contaminated in soil would be effectively treated by the combination technique of the wet classification process and the flotation process. Furthermore, the extraction of organic matter was shown more effective with aeration, 3% of hydrogen peroxide and 3% of lime such as calcium hydroxide.

The ultra-precision polishing method using MR fluid has come into the spotlight for polishing metals and optical materials. The MR fluid jet polishing process can be controlled using a change of viscosity by an imposed magnetic field. The MR fluid used for polishing process is a mixture of CI particles, DI water, $Na_2CO_3$ and glycerin. The efficiency of polishing depends on parameters such as polishing time, magnetic field, stand-off distance, pressure, etc. In this paper, the MR fluid jet polishing was used to polish nickel and brass mold materials, which is used to fabricate backlight units for 3-D optical devices in mobile display industries. In MR jet polishing, ferromagnetic materials like nickel can decrease the polishing efficiency by interaction with the cohesiveness of the MR fluid more than non-ferromagnetic materials like copper. A series of tests with different polishing times showed that the surface roughness of brass (Ra=1.84 nm) was lower than that of nickel (Ra=2.31 nm) after polishing for 20 minutes.
