Well many people have tried it with things like mercury lined ultra centrifuges You will never guess where they tried it (It gets some gold out.) No, no, stop me... yep Franklin Lake, California..and it was an oil company drilling for oil. There are some collectors thingies that everyone agrees should take out the gold. Troubles are many and that is what you have to work out. Little animalicules get all kinds of gold and they are slimy little things and collector systems have to deal with them. That and algae. You have to screen the buggers out and treat them. Soooo its not exactly something that wouldn't take a lot of experimentation. Pumping costs are less than 15% of the total gold. IF there is in fact the gold there that much gold in seawater. Nobody seems to know. My system works on most aqueous solutions and should take out the colloidal stuff too. (that is the main problem that has plagued people and that is the reason for the ultracentrifuges.) I don't think they are necessary. Nor is mercury. Worth a try. Pure risk. echarter@vianet.on.ca
