Abstract in brief

  • Gold recovery from e-waste is increasingly necessary due to the widespread use of gold in technology, but current methods are resource-heavy and need improvement.
  • This study investigates the use of protein amyloid nanofibrils (AF) from whey as a new, efficient material for gold recovery, showing that AF aerogels have a high adsorption capacity and selectivity for gold over other metals.
  • The process not only produces high-purity gold nuggets but is also highlighted as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution, making it a viable option for sustainable gold recovery.
