Tonnes of electronic scrap contains more gold than gold ore tonnes

TONS OF GOLD ORE TO SOME ESTIMATES ON AVERAGE contains only 5 grams of pure gold. ELECTRONIC WASTE RECYCLING contain, on average between 40 and 60% more gold. To be more precise, tons of microchip used in precision electronics, containing about 200 grams of pure gold. YET more gold to be found in TONI Mobiles, somewhere around 300 grams.

These details tell us that certain mass recycling of electronic waste we can get about 50% more gold than to recycle the same amount of 'mass' of gold ore.

To produce any portion of the electronic equipment necessary to use some of the valuable and precious metals. It is estimated that annually use more than 320 tons of gold in the production of electronics such as personal computers, mobile phones, fixed phones, navigation devices, and the like. This value exceeds $ 16 billion, while only 15% of that value at the end recycled. Everything else 'fail' in primitive Recycling operating outside the law in the harshest conditions, no logging in earnings, or craft at all.

Recycling gold is at the present time has become very popular and profitable as a business. In fact, digging up gold from the mines is quite unfavorable for the environment, costly and dangerous to human health. On the other hand, recycling is done in much more favorable conditions, carries with it a certain amount of danger, but in the end it still acceptable recycling from the excavation of gold ore.

To recycled gold from electronic waste is required to use heavy machinery, specially designed for this type of work. It is still necessary to establish a chemical laboratory in which hazardous chemical processes taking place for the removal of gold from other metals and elements in this process are not interesting. And finally the furnace in which the threshold of golden ingots of real gold with features that speak of the volume or weight of gold bars, and the purity of gold.

How many gold diggings harmful to the environment and can see yourself knowing that at the recent Swiss referendum banned digging up gold in the country because it harms the environment. Imagine, a country that has huge amounts of gold collected from all over the world refuses to herself excavate gold from the mine.
