Low quality water has been used in the minerals industry to save fresh water but shows harmful effects on gold extraction. This project aims to understand the interactions of organic and inorganic components, existing in process water, with gold and determine problematic components that inhibit gold extraction. Expected outcomes will be developed bio-sorbents, based on agriculture waste, that can remove the problematic components in process water efficiently and economically. This will provide major benefits for the minerals industry by providing options to respond and adapt to the impacts of water quality change, leading to increases in yield, revenue and growth of the precious metal sector whilst cutting poisonous chemical consumptions.

矿产行业使用劣质水来节省淡水，但对黄金提取产生有害影响。该项目旨在了解工艺水中存在的有机和无机成分与金的相互作用，并确定抑制金提取的问题成分。预期成果将是基于农业废物开发生物吸附剂，可以有效、经济地去除工艺用水中的有问题的成分。这将为矿产行业带来重大利益，提供应对和适应水质变化影响的选择，从而增加产量、收入和贵金属行业的增长，同时减少有毒化学品的消耗。
