    The optimum amount of MgSO47H2O and
    NaCl is 4 9 10-3 mol/L, 1.7 9 10-1 mol/L,
    respectively.

    Without pretreatment, the gold


    leaching efficiency is
    only 19.8 %.
    The maximum gold leaching
    efficiency can reach 70.6 and
    52.4 %, respectively. The
    optimum amount of
    MgSO47H2O and NaCl is 4 9
    10-3 mol/L, 1.7 9 10-1 mol/L,
    respectively.

    CONCLUSION
    Exponential growth in the generation of e-waste, their complex
    composition and potential hazardous consequences to human
    health and environment due to incorrect handling and treatment of
    e-waste have intensified the call for efficient handling and
    stringent management of this riotous solid waste stream.
    This work is expected to offer an incentive to the industrial
    practice for waste minimization, significant recovery of metals,
    and the noncorrosive, eco-friendly approach for metal extraction.
