Erwin, I have a question for you. Are there any dross recycling facilities in the Phillippines? How much do they pay per lb/kg? What is your cost of solder? If you recover 75% good solder from your waste, you can easily cut your cost of soldering

Check with your component suppliers. For instance, look at the paragraph at the bottom of page 4 here: http://www.national.com/ms/PA/PACKING_CONSIDERATIONS__METHODS__MATERIALS_AND_REC.pdf We have no relationship, nor receive benefit from the compa

If the batch cleaner is truly closed loop, then 100% of all of the process fluid (water) is captured, filtered (particulate, carbon, resin) and reused. This answer is based on a traditional closed-loop batch cleaning system with an integrated water

Well the majority of it has been sitting in pails for months, since our supplier quit handling it for us. It's pretty solvent free, at least on top. Do you really do that? It just sounds like another process control headache. Doesn't the oxidation

Assuming that you are going to solder them into a board rather than socket them, yes. The thickness of the gold plating in this application will usually make up a large enough percentage of the total joint to threaten enbrittlement. Use a small sol
