The rapid development of household appliances brings a wide field for the application of enameled wires, the usage amount of the enameled wires is increased, and a large amount of waste enameled wires are generated.
The waste enameled wire is composed of disassembled electric appliance copper coils and paint-plating defective goods, so that the waste enameled wire contains abundant copper resources, but cannot be directly used as a copper raw material due to the existence of an insulating paint layer.
The metal copper is widely applied to industries such as electric power, machinery, electronics, electrical appliances, weapons, new energy and the like, while the copper ore resources in China are relatively deficient, and the external dependence is more than 70%, which seriously limits the development of the copper industrial chain in China.

A paper entitled "thermally treated waste copper enameled wire for copper recovery" was published by zhangmingke et al, which uses a thermal process to remove the insulating varnish of copper enameled wires, and the overall recovery rate can reach 95% (see document "thermally treated waste copper enameled wire for copper recovery", research on renewable resources, 1994, fifth phase, pages 13-19).
However, the insulation paint films of the waste enameled wires are separated by adopting pyrolysis liquation, the equipment cost required by the pyrolysis liquation is high, and the generated tail gas contains a large amount of toxic and harmful gases and is difficult to treat.
