Gold from gadgets? How scientists are turning e-waste into a treasure
A team of scientists from Flinders University have developed a method to extract gold from ore and e-waste using trichloroisocyanuric acid and a sulphur-rich polymer. The process replaces toxic chemicals used during gold mining and gives a greener, more sustainable solution
Australian researchers turn electronic waste into a treasure without polluting. Thanks to a revolutionary method using light, Flinders University offers a solution to recover the gold contained in our used devices, without danger to the environment. Gold, a precious and conductive metal, is ubiquitous in our daily lives through printed circuits, satellites and other advanced technologies. However, its traditional extraction poses serious environ…
