Zeev; I think it might be the electric cling method. A large surface area, like carbon aerogel with an emf under the dissassociation voltage of water will adsorb ionized species(I assume all gold in sea water will be ionic). How they bind gold preferentially??, but with a dual charge and larger size there might be a preferential adsorb. After you saturate the electrodes you drop the emf, and even use it as a battery and the ions are released. It becomes in effect a capacitor with adsorbed ions instead of strained bonds accumulating the charge. It is used to clean mine waters for MNDM compliance(among other uses)How much you get with millions as many sodium and other ionzied species is ??.
But he may have another way.
