Issue 1

Water and Wastewater Treatment

Metallurgy and recovery of gold in electronic waste sometimes involve the reduction of tetrachloroaurate ion (AuCl4-) to elemental gold form. Currently, for the reduction of tetrachloroaurate ion, people use reducing agents such as hydroquinone and sodium borohydride. Photocatalysts of Fe3O4/SiO2...
