Gold recovery at ultra-high purity from electronic waste
In recent years, electronic waste (E-waste) has emerged as a severe risk to worldwide environmental security and human health because it contains many hazardous chemicals of heavy metals, plastics, flame retardants, etc. Notably, gold one of the noblest metals consisted of E-waste that can be reused not only to save natural resources but It is estimated that electronic and electrical equipment discarded in 2021 weigh more than 57 million tonnes, and less than one-fifth of this electronic waste (e-waste) is recycled. The Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the integral component of any electronic equipment, and this is a useful type of waste due to their nearly 30% metal content.Creating New Jewellery with precious metals recovered from electronic waste

Advances in hydrometallurgical approaches for gold
Pyrometallurgical routes have conventionally been used for the recovery of gold from e-waste (Udayakumar et al., 2022).However, these recovery processes are cost-intensive and require high energy to burn off gold and other metals (Park and Kim, 2019, Jadhao et al., 2022).They often produce an enormous amount of slag and release Europe is the world’s second highest producer of e-waste, throwing away around 12.3Mt of electronic equipment and batteries a year.

Measurement of Gold and Other Metals in Electronic and Automotive Waste
The electronic waste gold contents vary from 80 to more than 800 parts-per-million (ppm), and silver contents range from 250–350 ppm; no gold or silver is observed in the automotive waste material. Consequently, the metal value of these waste materials is highly variable and can reach up to US$30,000 per tonne. Qualitative analysisExisting methods for recovering gold from electronic waste are based on mechanical and hydrometallurgy approaches. However, these methods usually use toxic chemicals and demonstrate low gold extraction efficiency (G e) due to the negative influence of organic materials and other industrial metals also present in the waste.In this work, a Optimization of selective gold recovery from electronic
