pipe dream? mining gold and platinum from human waste

Timbuk3 · March 23, 2015 7:38AM

Interesting !!!

BAJJERFAN · March 23, 2015 7:59AM

From the article.

<<"As Smith will explain Tuesday at a press conference at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society, recovering metals from waste could reduce the need for environmentally-destructive mining programs, and make biosolids a safer source of fertilizer to boot.">>

Do we really need to be mining more gold?

Who knew that when the SHTF it would be profitable?

Shhhh.. it's a gold mine

Ya' don't wanna flush yer gold down the terlet.

The Japanese eat some foods that are ofter wrapped in gold foil. This is easily
recover in the sewage system. You could say they've been scraping the bottom
of the barrel in Tokyo for years and years.

cladking · March 24, 2015 9:07AM

Mebbe what they should be looking for is fossilized gold; mfkzt, often mistranslated as "emerald".

Corn can be recycled. You know, we can process the corn for ethanol.
Am sure we could get a lot more use out of _ _ _ _, but…. who wants to be a cherry picker in the land of methane ?
