Pulling Gold out of E-Waste Suddenly Becomes Super-Profitable Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed an innovative and cost-effective method for extracting high-purity gold from electronic waste (e-waste), yielding a return of $50 for every $1 invested in the process. Surprisingly, the breakthrough substance used for gold extraction was discovered in cheesemaking. This new technique not only presents a sustainable approach to recycling e-waste but also demonstrates significant commercial potential. The study outlines that, after accounting for the costs associated with sourcing materials and the energy required for extraction, the cost of recovering 1 gram of gold from e-waste is 50 times less than the market value of the gold obtained. This discovery could revolutionize the way we recycle precious metals from discarded electronics. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Silver Surges Past Gold, Ratio Suggests Further Gains to Come READ MORE Year of the Dragon Sparks Optimism for S&P 500's Flight to New Heights READ MORE 25 Million Borrowers to Receive Student Loan Forgiveness Updates READ MORE Japan's Central Bank Shifts Gears: Interest Rates Up, Bond Purchases Down READ MORE A Guide to Trading Gold and Silver Futures Contracts READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
