Abstract
Currently, researches are mainly focused on how to recycle valuable metals from waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs), but rarely on the toxic substances, such as zinc and lead, during the recycling process. In this research, the effect of zinc and lead during the process of leaching copper from WPCBs by an acidic ionic liquid (IL), N-sulfobutylpyridinium hydrosulphate ([BSO4HPy]HSO4), was investigated in detail. Results showed that copper and zinc could be successfully leached out by [BSO4HPy]HSO4. When 1 g of 0.1 to 0.25 mm WPCBs powder was leached by 25 mL of 80% (v/v) ionic liquid and 10 mL of 30% hydrogen peroxide at 40°C for 2 h, copper and zinc leaching rate could be up to 99.75% and 93.02%, respectively. H2O2 added amount, solid-liquid ratio and temperature could significantly impact the leaching rate of copper and zinc. On the contrary, lead leaching rate is hardly influenced by these factors, maintaining at around 2%. Thus, during the leaching process, zinc could significantly influence the leaching of copper, which was totally different for lead. Leaching kinetics analysis indicated that the leaching of copper and zinc is controlled by solid film diffusion, and the leaching of lead is controlled by chemical reaction.
期刊介绍:
IJEP provides an international forum in the field of environment and pollution and addresses early and medium-term challenges involving scientific prediction, modelling and assessment. It focuses on ground-breaking research in the science of environmental pollution, at the early scientific stage. It is one of three key journals which together offer complete coverage of environmental issues: IJETM focuses on technical/engineering, policy and management solutions for environmental problems, and IJGEnvI focuses on future, longer-term environmental scenarios, ecological economics, climate change and biodiversity.
