Greener Gold: Extracting Precious Metals from E-Waste with Graphene
About this episode
In this episode of The Zero Emission Zone, we explore an innovative, eco-friendly method for recovering gold from electronic waste. Using a composite made of graphene oxide and chitosan, researchers have created a highly efficient material that captures and converts gold ions without external power or harsh chemicals. Join us to discover how this breakthrough could revolutionize e-waste recycling, reduce reliance on mining, and pave the way for sustainable metal recovery.
