Abstract

Recovery of novel metals such as Au, Ag and Ni from wastes PCB was investigated by slag treatments. The CaO-$Al_2O_3$(-$SiO_2$) and CaO-$SiO_2$-$CaF_2$ slags were employed in the present study. The PCB/Cu ratio is recommended to be lower than unity. The use of CaO-$SiO_2$-$CaF_2$ slag provided the more higher yield of Au, Ag and Ni than the CaO-$Al_2O_3$(-$SiO_2$) slag did, which was mainly due to the lower melting point and the viscosity of $CaF_2$-containing slag. The terminal descending velocity of metal droplets in the slag phase increased with decreasing slag viscosity.

고온에서 PCB 처리를 통한 Au, Ag와 같은 귀금속뿐 아니라 Ni과 같은 주요 회유금속을 회수하기 위한 기초연구로서 CaO-$Al_2O_3$(-$SiO_2$) 및 CaO-$SiO_2$-$CaF_2$ 슬래그를 이용하여 Au, Ag, Ni의 회수거동올 관찰하였다. 슬래그 투입 없이 PCB만으로 용융실험을 수행한 결과 PCB는 거의 용융되지 않았으며, 이로부터 유도전류를 이용한 용융을 촉진할 뿐 아니라 유가금속의 회수를 위해서는 Cu와 갇은 적절한 base metal이 필요함을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과, PCB/Cu ratio는 1 이하가 바람직할 것으로 생각된다. CaO-$Al_2O_3$(-$SiO_2$) 및 CaO-$SiO_2$-$CaF_2$ 슬래그를 투입한 결과, $CaF_2$를 함유하는 fluorosilicate계 슬래그가 calcium aluminate계 슬래그보다 융점과 점도가 낮게 제어되었으며, 이로부터 Au, Ag, Ni의 높은 분배비를 얻을 수 있었다. 점도가 낮은 $CaF_2$ 함유 슬래그 적용 시 높은 유가금속 회수율은 슬래그 내에서 각 금속입자의 등속침강속도가 상승하기 때문인 것으로 평가되었다.
