  • Publication number: 20160060778
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a metal recovery reactor and a metal recovery system. The metal recovery device according to the present invention comprises an electrolytic cell which receives a solution containing metal ions from the outside, and which reduces and precipitates the metal ions of the solution on the surface of a cathode when the solution is supplied to a reaction space formed between an anode and the cathode surrounding the anode. The cathode comprises a main cathode and an auxiliary cathode positioned inside the main cathode and capable of being detached and attached from the main cathode.

  • Patent number: 8882881
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of concentrating and recovering precious metals from waste mobile phone PCBs and spent automotive catalysts using waste nonferrous slag, in which precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, palladium or rhodium can be concentrated and recovered by simultaneously treating different industrial wastes, including waste nonferrous slag, waste mobile phone PCBs and spent automotive catalysts, and industrial waste can be recycled as resources. According to the present invention, it is possible to maximize the utilization ratio of precious metal resources that totally depend on the import in terms of the domestic situation of a poor-natural resources country. In addition, the industrial waste can widely be utilized for the recovery of precious metals in the fields of household appliance recycling and electronic part manufacture, and the recycling of industrial by-products discharged in the field of non-ferrous refinery.

  • Publication number: 20130312254
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a valuable-metal sulfuric-acid solution from a waste battery, and to a method for manufacturing a positive electrode active material. The method for manufacturing the valuable-metal sulfuric-acid solution includes: a step of obtaining valuable-metal powder containing lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese from waste batteries; a step of acid-leaching the valuable-metal powder under a reducing atmosphere in order to obtain a leaching solution; and a step of separating the lithium from the leaching solution so as to obtain a sulfuric-acid solution containing the nickel, cobalt, and manganese.
