Transcript
00:00Toxic computer circuit boards are melting inside roaring industrial furnaces right now.
00:06How do recycling plants separate pure, precious gold from billions of tons of worthless plastic casing?
00:12Traditional shredders can actually damage delicate components, making precise separation of trace precious metals much harder.
00:21Centrifugal pyrolytic reactors thermally decompose plastic housings into gas,
00:27while dense metallic fractions remain for subsequent refining.
00:30This controlled thermal process vaporizes polymer casings,
00:34efficiently separating volatile plastics from the underlying metal fractions.
