Opis

This book provides a detailed review of extraction techniques for urban mining of precious metals like gold, silver and platinum groups. Periodical growth levels of spent sources, management necessities and correlation with circular economy, merits and demerits of methods, and environmental impact of every process is described.

Recenzje

Overall, it is well presented and detailed with process flowcharts and useful data. However, the importance of this book – aside from addressing the environmental and sustainability imperative – lies in presenting the opportunities that urban mining offers, which it suggests some countries are already exploiting, and how it can be deployed with readily available and established technology, as well as the need for related industries to operate within legal frameworks.  MATERIALS WORLD MAGAZINE, July/August 2022
