Scientists extract gold from e-waste using whey protein
科学家使用乳清蛋白从电子垃圾中提取黄金
Scientists have discovered an innovative, eco-friendly method of extracting gold from electronic waste (e-waste) using whey protein sponges, a dairy byproduct. This groundbreaking process is not only 50 times less expensive than the cost of gold but also significantly reduces the energy demands of recycling plants. The research team was led by scientist Raffaele Mezzenga from the Department of Health Sciences and Technology, ETH Zurich.
科学家们发现了一种创新的、环保的方法，可以使用乳清蛋白海绵（一种乳制品副产品）从电子废物中提取黄金。这种突破性的工艺不仅比黄金成本便宜50倍，而且大大降低了回收厂的能源需求。该研究小组由苏黎世联邦理工学院健康科学与技术系的科学家Raffaele Mezzenga领导。
