Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022136316A1] This method for processing waste containing metal compounds, in particular waste electrical and electronic equipment, comprises the following steps: - providing a gaseous mixture (MG) comprising ammonium and hydrogen sulphide, and optionally other sulphurous gases, - producing from the gaseous mixture (MG), by bringing the gaseous mixture (MG) into contact with an aqueous solution, at least one leach solution (SL) comprising ammonium hydroxide NH4OH and ammonium hydrosulphide (NH4)2S and/or ammonium polysulphides, - leaching of at least one metal compound from the waste, comprising bringing the waste into contact with the leach solution (SL) in a chamber (45) so as to produce, through a reaction of the metal compound with the leach solution (SL), a leachate comprising a precipitated metal in the form of sulphides, and - extracting the leachate from the chamber (45).
