Metallurgists develop new strategies in order to recover raw materials from old mobile phones. For copper smelting plant the smartphones are rather small raw materials mines. These melt old telephones (mobile) and recover out of these aluminium, zinc, lead, gold, silver, palladium and platinum. But there are still 20 additional metals perhaps rare earth materials in the instruments, the quantities of which per smartphones are so scanty that there were no economical recycling methods for that previously.

But there are still 20 additional metals perhaps rare earth materials in the instruments, the quantities of which per smartphones are so scanty that there were no economical recycling methods for that previously.
