Yes. That would require a great amount of power and would probably not be economically feasible. As it is, it's maybe break even recycling effort. Too bad they have to burn so much coal though.
They aren't transforming coal into gold.
The Russian experts have learnt how to make gold out of coal. Scientists of the Amur region developed an experimental device which is able of extracting up to 1g of the precious metal from a ton of the burnt fuel.
The researchers have been studying composition of the coal from various fields for 15 years and found out that both useful and harmful components are deposited in filters.
'In case the device entraps even a half - that is about half a gram per ton, the economic effect can be easily figured out. You burn a ton and get 1,500 roubles,' Oleg Ageev, Director General of the Complex Innovative Technologies of the Amur Scientific Centre, said.
