Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) contain not only harmful materials but also many valuable resources, especially metals, which attracts more and more attention from the public. In this study, a sulfonic acid functionalized ionic liquid ([BSO3HPy]OTf) was used to recycle copper from WPCBs. Zinc and lead, represented as typical heavy metals, were chosen to study the leaching behavior and their relation to copper. Five factors such as particle size, ionic liquid (IL) concentration, H2O2 dose, solid to IL ratio and temperature were investigated in detail. The results showed that copper leaching rate was high, up to 99.77%, and zinc leaching rate reached the highest value of 74.88% under the optimum conditions. Lead cannot be leached effectively and the leaching rate was mostly low than 10%, which indirectly indicated that [BSO3HPy]OTf has a good selectivity to lead. Besides, the interaction of copper, lead and zinc was characterized macroscopically by means of statistical methods. The Spearman correlation analysis showed that copper and zinc had a highly positive correlation. Lead had little relation to copper, which to some extent indicated that the effect of zinc on copper leaching behavior was bigger than that of lead.
