How ALS2 Handles Plated Steel From Old Mobile Phone CasingsOld mobile phones contain a mixture of plastics, glass, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals and small quantities of valuable elements. Their casings can add…
Recovering gold from edge connectors on fibre optic boardsFibre optic boards support high-speed communication in data centres, telecom networks, industrial systems and specialised control equipment. Although their…
ALS2 and Cyanide Leaching for Silver-Rich ResiduesSilver-rich residues from electronic waste, printed circuit boards, contacts, and other WEEE streams can contain valuable metal alongside copper, tin, nickel,…
Emergency shutdown and containment in ALS2 plantsAcidless separation changes the risk profile of precious-metals recovery, but it does not remove the need for disciplined emergency controls. An ALS2 plant…
Optimizing the energy profile of an ALS2 recovery batchEnergy performance is a central part of responsible precious-metals recovery. In an acidless process, electricity and heat still support material preparation,…
How ALS2 Supports Urban Mining in European CitiesEuropean cities are becoming important sources of secondary raw materials. Discarded smartphones, computers, household appliances, industrial electronics,…
Why automated sorting matters before ALS2 processingElectronic waste is a highly variable resource. A single collection stream may contain printed circuit boards, cables, connectors, batteries, screens,…
Preparing mixed connector scrap for maximum ALS2 yieldMixed connector scrap can contain a concentrated value of gold, silver, palladium and copper, yet its composition is rarely uniform. A single batch may include…
Secondary refining of ALS2 output to 99.9 percent purityAcidless separation can recover valuable metals from printed circuit boards, connectors, cables, and other WEEE streams without relying on conventional mineral…
Small-Batch Economics And The Case For ALS2 ProcessingPrecious metals in electronic waste are valuable, but they are dispersed across circuit boards, connectors, phones, servers, appliances, and industrial…
