I came across an interesting article today describing some work being done to find catalysts used in the manufacture of urethane which replace chlorine with oxygen. Quite an interesting read for the science heads, and 'green' wheel makers out there, pun not intended ^_^
Too bad their magic catalyst utilizes gold and titanium, two of the most expensive metals...
Almost all gold mining techniques are quite "dirty" environmentally.

yeah, maybe in the 1800's...
gold mining techniques have changed and improved drastically even over the past 20 years...
they worst thing in my rig is a 5 hp motor... dont get sucked in by all that nonsense, mining is bad yadda yadda yadda. ive never in my life had more wildlife come to me than when im mining.
back to topic, i'll need to read this thane stuff tonight after work

Dude, you need to check out the cyanide leach ponds in Nevada and Utah. You can't miss them when you see that cyanide blue water!!!

i cannot deny there are some operations that are not "eco-friendly"..
however to say 'almost all' gold mining techniques is an extreme exaggeration. most current miners are quite mindful of the environment and whats 'friendly' and 'unfriendly'
Eco-friendly urethane manufacturing
