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 ...

Researchers have developed a new type of material that's 10 times more efficient at extracting gold from e-waste than previous adsorbents. Developed by chemists and materials scientists at the ...

A team led by Cornell researchers has devised an innovative method to recover gold from electronic waste and repurpose it as a catalyst for converting carbon dioxide (CO 2) into organic compounds.

Rockwell’s PlantPAx DCS is proving pivotal to the scaling and eventual commercial viability of a new E-Waste precious-metal-recovery technology at The Royal Mint. This photo of recovered e-waste gold ...

Using the Company's proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology, gold and silver concentrations of 551g/t and 2,804g/t respectively, copper at 42% were recovered. This exceeds traditional mining ...

With the planet confronting a speeding expansion of electronic waste, researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery: an alternative, environmentally friendly, and safe way to extract gold from old ...

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 ...

In the dark corners of your attic shelves or the depths of your desk drawers likely sits a collection of defunct laptops, cameras, and gaming consoles. The phone you may be reading this on will ...

In this video, I demonstrate the process of recycling electronic waste to recover gold.

Using a proprietary chemical process pioneered by Canadian firm Excir, England's The Royal Mint has begun mining old circuit boards from electronic devices for gold and converting what's harvested ...
