Gold Recovery Techniques

Gold recovery techniques involve extracting gold from ore or electronic waste through various processes. Common methods include crushing the material to access the gold, then using chemical treatments like cyanide or mercury to dissolve and separate the gold from other materials. In smelting, the metal is heated until it melts, allowing impurities to be removed. More environmentally friendly methods use acids or specialized chemicals to safely extract gold. The goal of these techniques is to efficiently recover pure gold while minimizing environmental impact and maximizing resource use. These processes require careful handling and expertise to ensure safety and effectiveness.
