(PDF) Recovery of precious metals from electronic waste …
In the early stages, simple and rough processes for precious metals recycling were widely adopted. For example, recycling precious metals from e-waste mainly includes manual dismantling, aqua regia leaching, or open burning. These methods not only have low recovery rate, but also pollute the environment (Wang and Xu, 2015).
