Researchers developed a photocatalytic covalent organic framework that selectively captures gold from electronic waste ...

The newly designed two-dimensional COF features abundant adsorption sites and favorable photoelectronic properties, ...

For many people, gold mining conjures images of an old prospector sifting sandy water through a metal pan in the blazing sun. But these days, the process is far more advanced than the 1800s gold rush ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
