Interested in what chemistries they're using to do that processing at near room temperatures.
Also I really hope they're also extracting all of the other precious metals that are in electrical components - platinum, palladium, silver, even humble copper are all well worth recovering from a value point of view.

Just watched an item on the live bbc news covering this and thought exactly the same myself, far more than gold in those circuit boards.
