Large Scale Gold Extracting from PCBs

[Ewasted]

I would love to see how it's done at the highest level.



Imagine the savings on shipping for the bigger buyers on the forum if they could pre-process the boards down to a semi-refined powder using a dry process.

It's not that simple... $500k is a drop in the bucket to get that type of operation running. To properly and competitively have a PM content recovery process at scale would have a cost of over $20,000,000... you still have to make payroll, do maintenance and have the cashflow to obtain the material and manage inventory... so add another $5 to $10mm.

Mind you the limited players in that space have absorbed the learning curve and continue to invest into R&D as material feed is constantly evolving.
