Gold occurs in the ocean in a range of concentrations of 0.1 to 2 mg gold per ton of seawater. Near one costal city the gold concentration in the ocean is 0.44 mg/ton. How many tons of seawater have to be processed to obtain 1.0 troy once of gold if the recovery is 64% successful? (The troy ounce, 31.1 g, is the standard "ounce" in the gold trade.) i ton If gold can be sold for $1356.96 per troy ounce, what is the breakeven point in the dollar-cost per ton of processed seawater for extracting gold from the ocean at this location?
