The invention discloses a method and a device for high-efficiency
recovery of waste circuit boards in vacuum. The method comprises the following steps: the waste circuit board is arranged in a vacuum vessel and heated for
pyrolysis, wherein, most of
pyrolysis volatile matter is cooled and liquefied into liquid oil, and the rest is taken into a gas collector; a
centrifuge device separates
soldering tin from the circuit board during the
pyrolysis; substrates and electronic components of the pyrolyzed circuit board are assorted and collected to be further separated and recovered. The device comprises a compound vacuum pyrolysis and
centrifuge device, a
cold trap, the gas collector and a
vacuum pump. The vacuum vessel of the compound vacuum pyrolysis and
centrifuge device is sequentially connected with the
cold trap, the
vacuum pump and the gas collector by pipelines. The device has the advantages of simple process, no
pollution, low cost, high efficiency, and high
recovery ratio of waste resources of the waste circuit boards. The
soldering tin and organic substances of the waste circuit boards are synchronously recovered, and the
soldering tin is separated from other metals at a high efficiency, thus creating a good condition for high-efficiency
recovery of other metals. The method and the device are suitable for industrialized application and can help achieve large-scale recovery of the waste circuit boards.
