Researchers at Flinders University revealed a method to extract gold from both ore and electronic waste using a mix of saltwater, ultraviolet (UV) light, and a recyclable polymer. This technique ...

Forward-looking: A team of Australian researchers has unveiled a breakthrough method for extracting gold that could dramatically reduce the environmental and health hazards long associated with mining ...

In 2022, humans produced an estimated 62 million tonnes of electronic waste – enough to fill more than 1.5 million garbage trucks. This was up 82 per cent from 2010 and is expected to rise to 82 ...

At Flinders University, scientists have cracked a cleaner and greener way to extract gold—not just from ore, but also from our mounting piles of e-waste. By using a compound normally found in pool ...

Refractory gold ores present significant challenges to conventional extraction methods. In these ores, gold is tightly encapsulated within sulphide minerals or locked by carbonaceous matter, thereby ...
