Photobacterium,the yealds that i wrote in the thread are derived from my experiments--they are true numbers that may vary with the types of cellfones----there might be a big variation in the silver,because only recently i discovered that exists silver in the screens,together with indium------

Claudie, that is correct---0,025grams or more, sometimes 0,034grams(nokia numbers)

Are those data only from the gold plating on the boards or inklusive all items like flatpacks, microphones and ccd sensors?

 

[arthur kierski]

these data is for the entire board and its components===== 0,025 grams of gold per cell phone

Arthur mentioned there is silver in the screens. It would be my assumption that the silver is somehow either plated or etched onto the glass part of the screen. To recover the silver, would you put the screen into nitric to dissolve it, or would it be possible to separate the silver by melting the glass portion of the screen? I wouldn't think the silver would alloy with the glass, and since the silver would be more dense, I would think it would sink to the bottom of the melt.

Just wondering if others save the screens, and what they do with them.
