Scientists have developed a new technique which they claim can grow and harvest gold from crop plants.
The technique of finding gold called phytomining uses plants to extract particles of the precious metal from soil.
Some plants have the natural ability to take up through their roots and concentrate metals such as nickel, cadmium and zinc in their leaves and shoots.
For years, scientists have explored the use of such plants, dubbed hyperaccumulators, for pollution removal.
However, there are no known gold hyperaccumulators, because gold doesn’t easily dissolve in water so plants have no natural way of taking the particles in through their roots, LiveScience reported.
“Under certain chemical conditions, gold solubility can be forced,” said Chris Anderson, an environmental geochemist and gold phytomining expert at Massey University in New Zealand.
Fifteen years ago, Anderson first showed it was possible to get mustard plants to suck up gold from chemically treated soil containing gold particles.
