Technical Overview of Tantalum Capacitor Scrap Grades and Pricing
Tantalum capacitors vary in composition and condition, influencing the grade classification and corresponding buyback value. Our evaluation process involves rigorous analysis of scrap streams to categorize material into specific grades based on purity, contamination, and physical form.
| Scrap Grade | Description | Tantalum Content (%) | Typical Contaminants | Price Range (USD/lb Ta) | Recommended Handling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grade A - Clean Capacitor Pellets | Sealed, intact tantalum capacitors with minimal external contamination | 55 - 65% | Minor plastic or epoxy residues | $220 - $260 | Manual sorting and minimal pre-processing |
| Grade B - Shredded Capacitor Scrap | Mechanically shredded capacitors including casings and terminals | 40 - 55% | Plastic, ceramics, and metallic impurities | $180 - $210 | Magnetic separation and density sorting recommended |
| Grade C - Mixed Electronic Scrap | Mixed e-scrap containing tantalum capacitors and other components | 15 - 35% | Various metals, plastics, glass | $120 - $160 | Advanced preprocessing to isolate tantalum fractions |
| Grade D - Low-Grade Residue | Residue from capacitor decommissioning, low tantalum concentration | 5 - 15% | High contamination levels including lead, tin, and organics | $60 - $100 | Specialized refining and chemical treatment required |
How Our Bulk Scrap Buyback Program Works
