Abstract

Abstract : Gold is a valuable metal that can be dissolved with common household chemicals as reported by Timo Repo et al. in their Research Article (e202117587) . By applying catalytic iodine, aqueous hydrogen peroxide and 2‐mercaptobenzimidazole, gold promptly dissolves in ethanol. Catalytic reactions and environmentally benign solvents and reagents are the basis for sustainable development and a gateway to a greener future of precious metals recycling.
