Abstract: Disclosed is a system for removing metals from waste, particularly electronic waste (or “e-waste”). The process generally includes the steps of dissolving at least some of the metals from the wastein a nitric acid bath and then causing at least some of the metals to precipitate as metal oxides and/or metal nitrates. The system can include multiple tanks or locations for dissolving metals and/or precipitating metals, preferably as metal oxides or metal nitrates. The process and system reclaim more preferably NOx gas for the regeneration of nitric acid, which is recycled for use in the metal reclamation system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for removing metals from waste, particularly electronic waste (or “e-waste”). The process generally includes the steps of dissolving at least some of the metals from the waste with nitric acid reagent and then causing at least some of the metals to precipitate as metal oxides and/or metal nitrates. NOx gases produced as by-product by the nitric acid dissolution of metallic components in the electronic waste are reused, in particular for generating permanganate when one of the metallic components comprises manganese.
