皇家造币厂开始处理电子废物，从旧手机和电脑中提取黄金

电子垃圾，包括从旧手机、电脑到电视的所有物品，是一个迅速增长的问题 - 联合国称 2022 年将有 6200 万吨被扔掉。

The Royal Mint, best known for making the UK's coins, has now started processing electronic waste to extract gold from it.

以制造英国硬币而闻名的皇家造币厂现在已开始处理电子废物以从中提取黄金。

E-waste, which includes anything from old phones and computers to TVs, is a rapidly growing problem - the UN says 62m tonnes were thrown away in 2022.

At the Royal Mint plant, piles of circuit boards are being fed into the new facility.

在皇家造币厂，成堆的电路板正在被送入新工厂。

“Traditional gold recovery processes are very energy intensive and use very toxic chemicals that can only be used once, or they go to high energy smelters and they’re basically burnt,” says Leighton John, the Royal Mint's operations director.

“传统的黄金回收工艺非常耗能，并且使用只能使用一次的剧毒化学品，或者它们会被送往高能冶炼厂，基本上会被烧毁，”皇家造币厂运营总监 Leighton John 说道。
