The present invention relates to an apparatus for recovering valuable elements. The apparatus for recovering valuable elements according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: i) a conveyor; ii) a microwave heater that is located on the conveyor and that radiates microwaves; iii) a heating container of which a surface is opened; and iv) a cover that covers the surface of the heating device. The heating container passes through the microwave heater while being moved on the conveyor, and is configured to contain a mixture containing carbonaceous materials and waste discharged from an iron making plant therein. The microwave heater includes a casing that blocks the microwaves from the outside. The casing includes i) a lower portion that is opened to be opposed to the conveyor, and ii) an upper portion on which a discharging opening for discharging metal vaporized from the mixture is formed. The upper portion opposes the lower portion. The valuable elements contained in the mixture are configured to be recovered by heating the mixture by the microwaves.
