Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating materials containing a mixture of plastic materials and metal materials, said method including: —crushing the material to be treated; pyrolysis of the crushed material; a first magnetic separation performed on the pyrolysed material providing, on the one hand, a ferrous metal fraction and, on the other hand, non-ferrous residue; —a second magnetic separation performed on the non-ferrous residue providing, on the one hand, a non-ferrous metal fraction and, on the other hand, non-magnetic residue. The invention also relates to a facility for implementing said method.

Abstract: The application relates to a method for treating waste containing precious metals, said method comprising the following successive steps: the waste is brought into contact with a composition based on molten lead; the mixture obtained is skimmed; and the skimmed mixture is refined by electrolysis in such a way as to recover the precious metals. The application also relates to a waste treatment installation for implementing said method.
