The Story of the "Rebirth" of Waste Circuit Boards

#Industry ·2026-02-18

——A Set of Equipment for Water Selection and Recycling of Waste Circuit Boards Mountains of discarded computer motherboards, cracked mobile phone parts glowing with faded old colors; piles of torn wiring boards, appliance motherboards wrapped in dark and faded shells... These waste circuit boards, once regarded as garbage, are now undergoing a magnificent transformation. Walking into a modern water selection and recycling center for waste circuit boards, a large and sophisticated set of equipment is operating in an orderly manner amidst rumbling sounds. The first step of the process begins in the hydraulic crusher, where the waste circuit boards first experience repeated violent impacts and rubbing by water currents. The hard copper wires are gradually washed away by the flexible water flow, just like a warrior shedding his old armor. The parts attached to the boards are finally liberated one by one. The crushed materials then follow a thin stream into a grading process like a river of fine sand. Under the dual forces of subtle buoyancy and gravity, the lighter plastic fragments rise gently like feathers, while the denser metal particles sink slowly like treasures from the deep sea. At this moment, another precision equipment, a large strip-shaped hydraulic shaker, begins its delicate sorting work. The inclined bed, under the machine's steady and rhythmic vibration, forms unique water ripples. Different material particles are gently sorted by the water waves, with their differences in weight allowing them to perform a solemn and wonderful waltz in the mineral world: copper and aluminum dance lightly forward like agile dancers, followed by tin and lead, each eventually being guided into distinct paths. Particularly delicate parts then flow to the eddy current sorting machine for further processing. At this point, the eddy current generated by the rapidly rotating and alternating magnetic roller gently lifts the fine remaining non-ferrous metal particles from the fine sand, completely separating them from the remaining sedimentary impurities. Through a series of interconnected processes and further refinement, the copper, aluminum, tin, and even precious gold and silver once buried beneath discarded electronic shells are finally selected from the dust and shine with new brilliance. Each step of water selection not only saves the huge cost of mining more than 200 tons of ore for each ton of circuit boards, but also alleviates the earth's heavy burden of pollution. The carefully designed recycling system in the equipment repeatedly utilizes water resources, saving about 150,000 tons of clean water per cycle. The once heavy pollution burden is transformed into a clear source of resources. This soft element of water has become a messenger of the rebirth of hard metals. This process is also like a washing process, not only illuminating the brilliance of sedimented metals, but also washing our souls. Looking back at the once mountainous waste that has now become a stream of treasure flowing in the sound of machinery, I finally understand that in the cycle of all things, the greatest wisdom of regeneration lies in recognizing value in discards and letting natural elements touch cold fragments, ultimately making the sleeping gold sand regain its own brilliance and flow into the bloodstream of modern life.
