A study by Flinders University unveiled a new process that can recover high-purity gold from both ore and electronic waste.

Modern mining techniques are then employed to extract this precious metal from the earth’s crust. The process starts with mining, where gold-rich ores are dug out from underground or open-pit mines.

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 ...
