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 ...

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

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 ...

The technique offers a cleaner alternative to current practices. As the digital age accelerates, the world is facing a mounting challenge: electronic waste. Driven by rapid advancements in AI and ...

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 ...

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 ...
