Photocatalytic Reduction of AuCl4- by Fe3O4/SiO2/TiO2 Nanoparticles

by

Eko Sri Kunarti et al. View all

Issue 1

Water and wastewater treatment and reuse

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...
