The relevance of this study is due to the need to find effective and environmentally safe extraction technologies, which is especially important for the Kyrgyz Republic, where industrial waste contains significant amounts of valuable components. The objective of this article is to investigate the applicability and effectiveness of the electrophysical ionization process for extracting valuable elements from industrial waste in the Kyrgyz Republic. The study analyses the mass concentrations of extracted elements after their treatment using electrophysical ionization. The results showed that the electrophysical ionization process is effective for extracting copper with a concentration of more than 1000 ppm, while the concentrations of uranium and tantalum were significantly lower, indicated the need for further optimization of the methodology. Additionally, moderate concentrations of phosphorus, strontium and barium were established which may be promising for their joint extraction. Theoretically, they enrich the knowledge of ionization processes in the context of waste recycling; practically, they pave the way for improving the efficiency of element extraction from waste. The results of the study provide a basis for engineering design, planning and optimization of recycling processes which can contribute to the sustainable development of the regional economy and improvement of the environmental situation.
