Ceramic CPU Scrap for Gold Recovery – High-Yield Premium Grade
Turn E-Waste Into Real Gold
Our hand-sorted ceramic CPU scrap is sourced specifically for precious metal recovery. Ideal for refiners, hobbyists, and small-scale recovery operations looking for consistent gold content without the filler.
Why Choose Our Ceramic CPU Scrap
High Gold Content by Design
Ceramic CPUs from the 1980s-2000s used gold bonding wires and gold-plated lids/legs. Unlike modern fiber CPUs, these chips were built when gold was cheap and conductivity was king.
Typical yield range: 0.2g to 0.4g gold per CPU, depending on model. Bulk lots average 180-350g gold per kg of clean ceramic chips. [Update with your tested yields]
Pre-Sorted & Clean
No motherboards, heat sinks, or plastic attached
Aluminum caps removed where applicable
No mixed fiber or plastic CPUs in the batch
Sorted to remove low-yield models like Intel Celeron D

Processing Notes
Expect to remove the nickel plates from lids with nitric before AR if you want cleaner gold. Crush to -20 mesh for fastest leaching. Always use proper PPE, fume hood, and waste disposal.
Disclaimer: We sell scrap material only. We do not provide refining instructions. Know your local laws for precious metal recovery and chemical handling.
Shipping & Packaging

FAQ
Q: How much gold will I get from 1kg?
A: Yields vary by exact models in the lot. Our last 10 test batches averaged 220g per kg. We don’t guarantee yields because every CPU is different, but we do guarantee no filler.
Q: Are these tested?
A: Yes. XRF spot-checked and manually sorted. We pull obvious low-yield chips.
Q: Can I pick specific models?
A: Current lots are mixed ceramic. Message us for custom Pentium Pro or 486-only batches at +20%.
Q: Is this legal to buy?
A: Yes, this is scrap electronic material. You’re responsible for complying with local chemical and refining laws.
