Waste　printed　circuit　board　smelting　ash　(WPCB-SA),　which　is　generated　in　the　waste　printed　circuit　board　(WPCB)　smelting　process,　is　considered　a　hazardous　waste　because　it　contains　substantial　amounts　of　highly　toxic　inorganic　bromides.　Therefore,　disposing　inorganic　bromides　from　WPCB-SA　has　become　an　environmental　concern　worldwide.　In　this　study,　a　mechano-chemical　leaching　technology　was　developed　to　convert　hazardous　bromides　in　WPCB-SA　into　value-added　products.　By　optimizing　the　removal　and　recovery　conditions,　96.76%　of　the　bromides　in　WPCB-SA　could　be　removed,　and　a　high　recovery　yield　of　NaBr　was　obtained.　The　mechano-chemical　process　was　simulated　to　theoretically　optimize　the　conditions　affecting　the　performance.　The　experimental　results　indicate　that　the　optimal　mechano-chemical　leaching　conditions　include　a　NaOH　concentration　of　4.5　mol　L-1,　a　liquid-solid　ratio　of　3　mL　g(-1),　a　grinding　disc　gap　of　3　mu　m,　a　rotational　speed　of　2500　rpm,　and　a　leaching　time　of　20　min.　After　mechano-chemical　leaching,　the　Br-containing　leachate　was　purified　via　neutralizing　precipitation,　evaporative　crystallization,　and　methanol　purification,　for　efficiently　removing　impurities　(Pb,　Zn,　Sn,　and　Cl);　thus,　NaBr　was　obtained　as　the　final　recovery　product　with　a　purity　of　98.71%.　The　advantages　of　the　as-proposed　technology　include:　(1)　no　toxic　SO2/HBr/Br-2　flue　gas　release,　(2)　reduced　removal　time,　(3)　decreased　energy　consumption,　and　(4)　less　water　and　reagent　consumption,　in　contrast　to　conventional　technologies　for　removing　Br　from　WPCB-SA.　This　study　provides　an　environmentally-friendly,　efficient,　and　cost-effective　approach　for　removing　hazardous　inorganic　bromides　from　WPCB-SA.
