Abstract:Recycling precious metals from the increasing amount of electronic waste (e-waste) is of great significance for the sustainability of strategic metal resources. However, there are rarely reports of technologies that can efficiently and highly selectively recover precious metals from strong acid e-waste leachates. Herein, we demonstrated a simply synthesized thiolated β-cyclodextrin (T-CD) that can recover gold with high selectivity from strong acidic medium. The material has an exceptional adsorption capacity,… Show more
