A summary economic assessment for gold phytomining in Mexico is also presented. Mexico is an example of a developing country with a long history of gold mining that has a large resource of sites that might be suitable to gold phytomining. The technology remains limited by certain environmental and plant physiology factors.

به خواندن ادامه دهیدPhytomining. A few years ago, scientists in New Zealand helped develop a process called phytomining. Plants are grown on gold-rich soil, such as waste from mines. They take up the gold and store it as nanoparticles throughout their tissues. The plants are harvested, and the gold is recovered and accumulated into 'normal' gold.
به خواندن ادامه دهیدA published model for gold phytomining suggests that a gold concentration of approximately 50 mg/kg can be expected from 'soil' with a gold concentration of 1 mg/kg. There is therefore considerable opportunity for optimisation of treatment of the plants to promote increased gold uptake in future studies.

به خواندن ادامه دهیدThe method of using plants to extract particles of gold from soil is called phytomining. It works by taking a fast-growing plant with leafy mass, such as mustard, sunflowers or tobacco, and planting the crop on soil that contains gold. Once the plants grow to their maximum height, the soil is then treated with a chemical to make the gold ...

Phytomining has potential to allow economic exploitation of low grade ores or mineralized soils that are too poor for conventional mining of metals. Gold is the most promising option for phytomining as its market value is increasing continuously.

به خواندن ادامه دهیدPhytomining, the process of producing metal by growing plants, is not new, but many are unaware of its untapped potential. There are about 700 plants in the world that suck up metal from the soil around them at a high rate. These metals, like nickel, zinc, cobalt, and even gold, are harvested when the plants are burned, resulting in "bio-ore.".
