what is the potential value of e waste?
Ewaste refer to Electronic waste. It is all kinds of scrapped electronic products. The update frequency of home appliances such as mobile phones and computers is getting faster and faster, and many used appliances are being discarded casually.
Experts say that these discarded electronic wastes still have good use value. For example, gold-containing components can be picked from some old mobile phones, computers and other parts to refine gold.
In one ton of electronic board, 130 kg copper, 20 kg tin and 0.45 kg gold can be separated. "Electronic waste" has become a huge hidden profitable industry.
People have become accustomed to gold collected in mines, and they still have some doubts about the gold extracted from this "e-waste". After strict monitoring, the gold extracted from electronic waste can directly obtain the gold (silver) content up to the No. 2 gold (silver) standard, which means that the purity of gold is 99%. Therefore, there is no difference between gold extracted from e-waste production and gold obtained from mining. If there must be a difference, the cost of recycling from e-waste is much lower than mining from mines.
