Metals We Recycle
Description of Materials Recycled
 
ECS’ facilities in Terrell, Texas and Santa Clara, California accept a wide variety of metal bearing residues for recycling.  All storage and processing of these materials is in-doors, with careful attention to protection of the environment.  Assured destruction of proprietary materials is available at both facilities.
 
The following types of materials are recycled at both facilities:
  • Electronics scrap
    • Printed Circuit Boards
    • Obsolete and waste computers
    • Computer peripherals
    • Electronics manufacturing and test equipment
    • Integrated circuits
  • Residues containing precious and high value metals
    • Sweeps, powders, pulps, dust
    • Meltables
    • Slags
    • Burnables
    • Concentrates
    • Catalysts
    • Silver wire
    • Plating wire
    • Carbon
    • Resins
    • Acids and sludges with precious metals
    • Plated parts
  • Residues containing high value metals, such as
    • High temperature alloys
    • Tantalum
    • Indium
    • Nickel
    • Titanium
    • Tungsten
ECS’ Santa Clara, CA facility also recovers silver from Waste Photographic solutions
  • Bulk Treatment of waste photo solutions
  • Decanting and refining of metallic replacement columns
ECS’ Terrell, TX facility also has additional capabilities
  • Recycling of Tin & lead residues, including:
    • Oxides
    • Filter cakes – No F wastes
    • Sludges/slurries
    • Drosses
    • Bag house fume or dust
    • Skimmings
    • Paste, wipes, debris, filters
    • Slags
    • Powders, pulps, sweeps
    • Precipitates
    • Ashes
    • Carbon/charcoal
    • Resins
    • Concentrates
    • Glass—mirrors, CRTs
  • Segregation and processing of high temperature alloys
    • Disassembly of commercial and military jet engines
    • High temperature alloys form other sources

Precious Metals Description ICP

We process millions of pounds of precious metal bearing materials annually.   Gold, Silver, Palladium, and Platinum are recovered from printed circuit boards, integrated circuits and other components, circuit board trim, router dust, pastes, wipes, sweeps, plated and inlaid metals, fabricated parts, ores and concentrates.   The utmost care is taken to ensure the integrity of materials during processing.   Our process schedules accommodate lots of any size.
The following types of material containing precious metals are recycled:

 
  • Printed circuit boards
  • Electronic components
  • Manufacturing scrap and residues
  • Telecommunication equipment
  • CRTs and monitors
  • Computer scrap
  • Sweeps, powders, pulps, dust
  • Meltables
  • Slags
  • Burnables
  • Concentrates
  • Catalysts
  • Silver wire
  • Plating wire
  • Carbon
  • Resins
  • Acids and sludges with precious metals
  • Plated parts
  • Test equipment
 
High-Value Metals

A wide variety of residues containing tantalum, indium, nickel, titanium, tungsten, and other high-value metals are processed in various ways to recover the metal value.  Processes for residues containing these, and other high value metals, are developed on a case-by-case basis to remove impurities and produce salable products.  Contact us about recovering the value from your residue.

Process Capabilities

The Crucible ECS has broad capability to process precious and high-value metals.  We use several different types and sizes of smelting and refining furnaces, and have installed a number of hydrometallurgical and physical separation processes as well.
Dismantling Commercial and Military Jet Engines and Engine Components ECS’ skilled technicians disassemble scrap commercial and military jet engines and engine components into their component high-temperature alloys, at our facility in Terrell, Texas.  These alloys are sold as high-temperature metallic scrap.  Sophisticated testing procedures are used to segregate the individual alloys to maximize their value.
Description of Products
 
Sows ECS produces the flowing types of alloys.  Custom alloys are routinely produced to meet specific customer specifications.
  • Tin lead alloy
  • Tin lead copper alloy
  • Tin lead bismuth alloy
  • Tin lead indium alloy
  • Lead bismuth alloy
  • Lead
  • Antimonial lead
