Evotus plans to start a plant in Raleigh, North Carolina, to recover investment-grade gold from e-scrap. The company raised about $1.2 million to build a 15,000-square-foot facility. The center will ...

An interdisciplinary team of experts in green chemistry, engineering and physics at Flinders University in Australia has developed a safer and more sustainable approach to extract and recover gold ...

Discarded electronics can be a gold mine – literally. Researchers have developed an efficient new way to use graphene to recover gold from electronic waste, without needing any other chemicals or ...

In a recent paper published in the Journal of Chemical Engineering Journal, researchers from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology announced that they have created a technology that uses ...

A big part of the recycling of electronic equipment is the recovery of metals such as gold. Usually the printed circuit boards and other components are shredded, sorted, and then separated. But ...

ETH Zurich researchers have developed a sustainable method to recover gold from electronic waste. The method uses a sponge made from denatured whey proteins that selectively adsorb gold ions. The ...

Scientists have figured out a way to recycle important metals trapped inside electrical waste. Using textiles, researchers from the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have improved the ...

Many electronic items you use daily, including your laptops, chargers, and smartphones, contain a tiny amount of gold. This is because gold is an excellent conductor of electricity and doesn’t rust or ...

It’s fair to say that interest in gold is longstanding. This includes recovering the gold used as a conductor in electronics — especially cell phones, which use more than laptops. Gold is considered a ...
