Evaluation Method for PCB Surface Finishes Based on Color

1. Used PCB circuit boards from mobile phones and computers contain valuable metals like gold and copper, making their recycling value over 30 yuan per kilogram, significantly higher than that of waste paper, glass bottles, and scrap iron. 2. PCB circuit boards typically show three main colors on their surface: gold, silver, and light red. Gold is the most valuable, followed by silver, with light red being the least valuable. 3. These colors indicate whether manufacturers have used cost-effective materials. The circuits inside mainly consist of pure copper, which oxidizes easily and thus requires protective coatings. 4. Contrary to common belief, large areas of circuit boards are often gold-plated rather than made of copper.

PCB Recycling Process

Recycling and processing methods of waste PCB include physical, chemical, and biological methods. Physical methods involve stripping the PCB and using techniques like mechanical crushing and sorting based on physical properties. Chemical methods include pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. Alkaline paint stripping is an effective way to separate the paint from the circuit board structure for metal recovery. Overall, physical methods of PCB recycling are simple, scalable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly, but face challenges such as incomplete metal separation and high initial costs.
