Mining is the reason for great technological advances, which through science make it possible to manufacture electronic equipment.These devices, after their useful lifetimes, are discarded, becoming part of millions tons scrap produced. This huge mountain has potential gold extraction an acid leaching process subsequent recovery with solvents or chemical adsorption agents. However, a series materials have been postulated, among carbons, gels, and compounds extracted from vegetable matter, adsorbent materials, giving second use organic matter residues, interesting alternative on way. towards sustainable industrial process. review presents alternatives such as barley, rice, orange, persimmon apricot, capable being transformed into that achieved 99% in estimated contact time 0.5 100 contact. Since Peru country enormous agricultural potential, these new applications could increase reach this market internationally, favoring consolidation technologies.
