A secondary goal of prevention effort with mining families is to reduce the level of poverty experienced by artisanal miners and educate them about ways to extract more gold from the ore and to develop and practice more efficient behaviors …
اقرأ المزيدThe paper contains the results of hydrometallurgical processing of technogenic pyrite raw materials. The method is based on selective extraction of gold and silver from ore by solution, which contains sodium sulfite and sodium sulfate.
اقرأ المزيدElectronic waste (e-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams which contains valuable materials such as plastic, glass, and precious metals. This study investigates different recycling methods such as pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, and bio-metallurgy process used to recover precious metals such as Au and Ag from e-waste …
اقرأ المزيدWith environmental problems and a shortage of resources, it is urgent to recover gold from electronic waste (e-waste). Meanwhile, it is necessary to explore the relationships between the structures and extraction performances of ionic liquids (ILs) to further improve the extraction capacities of ILs for gold. Herein, three pyrrolidinium …
اقرأ المزيدThiosulfate (S 2 O 3 2−)-based gold extraction—an environment-friendly alternative to cyanide-based gold extraction—has notable potential for application in industries. However, resolving the detrimental impacts of arsenopyrite on gold ore leaching remains a challenge for various leaching methods.
اقرأ المزيدIn the hydrometallurgical recovery of gold from electronic waste (Fig. 2), ... The well-documented toxicity and environmental concerns around the use of cyanide in the gold mining industry 12 has led to the adoption of the International ... The success of the solvent extraction process resides with the efficiency and selectivity of the metal ...
اقرأ المزيدHere we report an exceptionally high gold extraction capacity of chemically reduced graphene oxide (rGO), reaching 1,850 mg/g and 9,059 mg/g when extracting gold from its 10 ppm solution at 25 oC and 60 oC, respectively, combined with an ability to extract gold at minute concentrations, down to parts per trillion and high selectivity.
اقرأ المزيدIn response, SK hynix has established a mid- to long-term plan to increase the percentage of copper, gold, etc. recovered and reused from waste generated in the semiconductor manufacturing process to more than 30% by 2030, and Samsung Electronics is running a collection program for used mobile phones in cooperation with …
اقرأ المزيدFor over two hundred years, cyanide has served as the primary reagent for gold extraction. However, due to its high toxicity, the use of cyanide poses significant risks. Traditional low-toxicity leaching reagents have limitations that restrict their widespread industrial application, leading to the necessity for the development of new, efficient, and …
اقرأ المزيدIn addition to extraction, the application of these reagents in the gold processing, pre-treatment and gold purification stages is explored. The main objective here is to discuss how the gold extraction process can be more sustainable, with a view to developing more greener leaching reagents.
اقرأ المزيدFor the gold extraction process, gold ions in the complexing form are transferred from the e-waste leachates (aqueous phase) to an immiscible liquid (organic phase). The solvent extraction used in gold recovery offers a higher capacity, better selectivity, and faster kinetics (Nazari et al., 2021). Different extracting agents have …
اقرأ المزيدResearchers at University of Saskatchewan in Canada have found a cheap, fast, and environmentally-friendly way to extract gold from materials while producing re-usable waste — a technology that might have potential to turn e-waste to gold, literally.
