Flinders University researchers have developed a new method for extracting gold from ore and electronic waste.
It replaces mercury and cyanide with a compound commonly used for water disinfection.
This reagent, when combined with salt water, can dissolve gold.
The dissolved gold is captured by a specially designed, sulfur-rich polymer that selectively binds to the precious metal.
This closed-loop approach reduces the need for new raw materials.
