The craze for smartphones is such that people quickly get bored of their old phones after buying a new one. People of all ages use phones today; some need them, while others have become so habituated to them that they cannot bear to be away from them, even for a moment. Of course, you must have been using a phone for years, but perhaps you are unaware that many precious things like gold are used.
You might be shocked, but this is true. A few years ago, a report revealed that every iPhone contains silver, gold, platinum, bronze and platinum. These precious things in the phone will become even more precious with time.
These Precious Things Are Used In The Phone
An iPhone contains about 0.34 grams of silver, 0.034 grams of gold, 15 grams of copper, 0.015 grams of platinum, and 25 grams of aluminium. Plastic, glass, and many other materials are also used to make the phone.
The phone you throw away in a corner of the house, thinking it is old, is very useful. The report also mentioned that hardly 10 percent of phone valuables are removed. Apart from this, about 34 kg of gold, 350 kg of silver, 16 tons of copper, and 15 kg of platinum can be removed from 10 lakh phones.
Quantity Of Gold?
It is difficult to extract gold from old phones; this process is quite complicated. The amount of gold in the phone is very small, so many smartphones will need to extract more gold in such a situation. This is difficult because you cannot extract gold from the phone at home; only a professional can do this.
