The technology is commercially viable and has the potential to revolutionize gold recovery from electronic waste.ETH Zurich researchers have recovered gold from electronic waste. Their highly sustainable new method is based on a protein fibril sponge, which the scientists derive from whey, a food industry byproduct. The researchers demonstrated this in their paper that has been published in the journal Advanced Materials. Gold recovery with an organic process. Image Credit: ETH Zurich.
