The recovery and extraction of precious metals has become an important part of the recycling of resources. Especially for the rare metal iridium, due to its wide range of industrial, electronic and chemical applications, effective recycling is particularly important. This paper will discuss the iridium recovery and extraction process through a vivid real recovery case.
Recovery case
Early one morning in 2021, an electronic waste disposal center in Los Angeles, California, found a batch of old electronic equipment containing iridium metal parts. These parts are mainly from obsolete computer hardware and internal components of mobile phones. Through careful sorting and identification, the staff at the treatment center determined the presence of iridium metal and decided to conduct a specialized recovery effort.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/47863.html

The recovery process includes initial physical separation, chemical treatment and final metal extraction. Through this series of operations, the staff finally recovered 2 kilograms of pure iridium metal from about 1,000 kilograms of electronic waste. According to the market price at the time, the total value of the 2 kilograms of iridium metal reached a staggering $300,000, which not only reflects the economic value of precious metal recovery, but also shows the importance of resource recovery for environmental protection.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/47863.html
Iridium recovery and refining process
The iridium recovery and extraction process is a technology-intensive process that involves the following steps:文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/47863.html

Pretreatment stage: The waste containing iridium is classified and preliminarily treated, such as physical separation, crushing, etc., in order to facilitate subsequent chemical treatment.
Chemical treatment: A chemical reaction is used to separate the iridium from other impurities. This step usually involves a complex series of chemical reactions aimed at converting iridium into a soluble compound.
Extraction and purification: Through electrolysis or other chemical reduction process, the iridium compound is reduced to the metal iridium, and purification treatment to obtain high purity iridium metal.
This process requires not only a high degree of technical expertise, but also strict environmental protection measures to ensure that the environmental impact is reduced during the extraction process.文章源自平泽贵金属回收公司 www.51gjs.comPINGZE Precious Metals Recycling-https://en.51gjs.com/47863.html
