Recycling of “used” scrap accounts for 10–15% of copper consumption In addition to this used scrap there is considerable recycling of manufacturing wastes about 15–20% of copper consumption About one third of the scrap is rerefined to pure copper and about The flowsheet construction step is intended to review every existing combination of unit processes, ie every flowsheet that can be used to transform one specific type of scrap into refined copper, together with the associated impacts (cost, environmental impacts, energy consumption, copper Multicriteria optimization of copper scrap Recycling of copper is based on a large variety of raw materials, ranging from lowgrade copper scrap containing only a few percent Cu to very highgrade copper as well as pure copper close to 100% Cu (Table 71) Thus there are several options for recycling processes, within both primary plants and secondary plants treating only scrap materialCopper Scrap an overview ScienceDirect Topics

Overall, there is a substantial potential to increase the recycling of copper by recovering more coppercontaining scrap and recycling it more efficiently, that is, with a higher yield for current products with lower EoLRR like consumer and electronic products, but the energy savings are not as high as one might expect because more of this scrap is lower grade and hence requires more energy to be recycled than the highgrade scrap that dominates current recycling On the basis of information provided by the Union Miniere Company , Fig 1 presents a coppersmelting flowsheet for the recycling of scrap IC boards Download : Download fullsize image; Fig 1 Union Miniere Company's coppersmelting flowsheet for recycling of scrap IC boardAn overview of recycling and treatment of scrap In this paper, a detailed thermodynamic analysis of processing of electronic waste (ewaste), particularly printed circuit boards (PCB), through secondary copper recycling (black copper smelting), was carried out The mass balance flowsheets of two scenarios, ie, the case of secondary copper recycling with (SCE1) and without (SCE2) addition of PCBs, have been developed and compared From the Thermodynamic analysis of metals recycling out of
Figure 1, taken from the recent publication of the Copper Development Association, “The US Copper base Scrap Industry and its ByproductsAn Overview (13th Edition)”,1 illustrates the trends in the net exports and consumption of copper in scrap in the United States for the period 1981–2012 Through much of the 1980s, of the order of tons annually ( metric tonnes) was exported; this Copper has a high thermal and electric conductivity and is relatively corrosion resistant In principle copper is virtually 100 % recyclable as an element without loss of quality The recycling of copper scrap reduces the energy consumption and environmental burden, comparing to the primary metal productionRecycling of Copper Scrap Journal of the Korean The process flowsheet of dusty wastes forming during metallurgical brass production with the use of twostage leaching is proposed The production solution, which contains the main amount of zinc ions (046 mol/L) and a small amount of copper ions (less than 002 mol/L) is formed at the first stage during the dust dissolution with the 05 mol/L sulfuric acid solutionPrincipal processing flowsheet of copper–brass wastes
