I was fortunate enough to start working with a manufacturer. They make small PCBs. I currently have access to scrap boards that are populated. I also have access to never used monolithic ceramic conductors and small 8 leg integrated circuts. I believe the conductors to contain palladium and silver and the circuit chips may contain a little gold.
I can also get left over rolls of lead (PB) free soldering wire and paste from the PCB assembly process.
My problem is I'm very limited in my knowledge of reclaiming the precious metals. Or the exact metals that these material contain. I'd like to just sell the scrap but I can't find any buyers in my region. (Middle of no where Canada)
I figure I can rack up a solid 50-100g of the MLCC each month. Only a few IC monthly. Quite alot of solder wire though and a little paste
So if you guys had the same accses, what would you do?
