Millimeter-sized activated carbon spheres are potential candidates for industrial-scale CO 2 capture. Millimeter-sized sulfur-doped microporous activated carbon spheres were synthesized from poly ...

A new gold extraction method turns old electronics into treasure using pool disinfectant and sunlight — no poisons required.

A new technique has been developed to safely and sustainably extract gold from e-waste, reducing reliance on toxic chemicals ...

Lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are fascinating as next-generation high specific energy density storation devices. Herein, we report the fabrication of a three-dimensional porous hollow core@shell ...

In 2022, humans produced an estimated 62 million tonnes of electronic waste – enough to fill more than 1.5 million garbage ...

The aim of the Flinders-led project was to provide alternative methods that are safer than mercury or cyanide in gold ...

To recover the gold from the solution, we invented a sulphur-rich polymer sorbent. Polymer sorbents isolate a certain ...

Gold extraction has relied on highly toxic chemicals such as cyanide and mercury, which are infamous for causing severe environmental damage.

An interdisciplinary team of experts in green chemistry, engineering and physics at Flinders University in Australia has ...
