Corn and sunflower will help us to build phones and computers – Reuters

Corn and sunflower will help us to build phones and computers

At the University of Freiburg are studying how to use the plant for extract from the soil the germanium element present in many technological components

To extract the germanium you try to use plants already exploited for fuels of biological origin

The plant world could give a big hand to the technological development. University of Freiburg, Germany, researchers are working to improve the process of Some plants accumulate in the shoots and roots germanium , a chemical essential to create transistors mobile phones and computers.

Germanium is an element found in the soil, but it is very difficult to extract. For this reason it is preferred today to get it starting from other components subjected to chemical processes.

German scholars are trying to hone a technique to be able to make the extraction of Germanium simpler and less expensive. The so-called process of phytominig (which literally means ‘extraction through the use of the plants’) is not a novelty because it was already used in the past to extract elements such as gold and copper.

In the case of the extraction of germanium one aims to utilize for energy crops like sunflower and corn. This way you could have two advantages: one is fuel energy would be obtained through the fermentation of crops and later you could separate the germanium then used by industry to produce technological components.
