Shuiyun Shengjin: The Green Rebirth Code for Waste Electronic Circuit Boards

#Industry ·2025-12-10

When smartphone updates come faster than the seasons and the piles of discarded computers breed anxiety about "e-waste", how can we break the dual dilemma of "resource depletion" and "waste encirclement"? The water-based recycling equipment for waste circuit boards is opening a new window for the green rebirth of electronic waste with its wisdom of "turning water into gold". E-waste is called the "urban mine", and just the waste circuit boards alone contain precious metals such as copper, gold and silver, as well as non-metallic resources like plastics and resins—the gold content of each ton of circuit boards even exceeds that of gold mines.But traditional recycling methods often "trade environmental protection for resources": incineration produces toxic gases like dioxins, and acid leaching causes heavy metals to seep into soil and water, turning the "mine" into a "poison source".However, the water-based recycling equipment precisely achieves the most thorough redemption with the gentlest medium. The core logic of this equipment lies in exploiting the "natural law" of material density differences: after being crushed into millimeter-sized particles by the crushing system, the circuit boards enter the screening process to be classified by size; then, the water carries the particles through the sorting trough—metal particles (copper, gold, etc.) denser than water sink and are captured by the collection trough; plastic particles lighter than water float and are scooped up by scrapers; and intermediate-density components like fiberglass remain in a specific area of the trough.The entire process requires no chemical agents, relying solely on the power of water to complete the separation, truly achieving "zero pollution and zero emissions". What's more commendable is its "integrated efficiency": from crushing, screening, water selection to drying and purification, the entire process is an automated assembly line operation, capable of processing dozens of tons of waste circuit boards per hour with a metal recovery rate of over 95%.According to the data from an environmental protection company, after introducing this equipment, the annual processing of 10,000 tons of circuit boards can recover 800 tons of copper, 20 kilograms of gold, and 500 kilograms of silver, creating economic benefits of tens of millions of yuan while reducing nearly 10,000 tons of toxic waste emissions—equivalent to saving 30 acres of contaminated land. Behind this lies the vivid practice of the concept of circular economy.The separated copper can be remelted into wires and cables, the plastic particles used to make building pipe materials, and the fiberglass used as raw materials for insulation materials.Waste circuit boards are no longer "garbage", but a "mobile resource bank"; the water selection equipment is no longer a "machine", but a bridge connecting "garbage" and "resources". In the era of "carbon neutrality" and sustainable development, this equipment also carries profound social significance.It not only responds to the national policy call for "resource recycling", but also makes the concept of "green water and mountains are as valuable as gold and silver" take root.When every drop of water awakens dormant metals and every recycling effort reduces the burden on the earth, what we see is the possibility of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. In the future, with the integration of intelligent technology, the water selection equipment will become more precise: AI identifies particle components and intelligently adjusts water flow speed to achieve more refined separation.The green rebirth of waste circuit boards will surely become broader and broader.And this wisdom of "turning water into gold" will also become an important key for humans to solve the resource dilemma—letting e-waste no longer be a symbol of anxiety, but a symbol of hope.
