Zusammenfassung:The present invention discloses a process for recovering precious metals from electronic waste comprising the steps of cutting the terminals from the electronic waste involving metallic and non-metallic fractions using a mechanical process, wherein the cut is performed on the connecting terminals of the electronic waste; optionally placing the cut electronic waste connecting terminals in an overnight pre-swelling with stirring in an appropriate organic solvent; performing an organic swelling in a low-pressure reactor with heating and preferentially with stirring; and then separating the gold fingers from the plastic and base metal components using a magnetic separation process followed by sieving.
