In a push to reach more responsible and sustainable business practices, extractive resource industries like the mining and oil industry have faced increasing pressures to update their policies to reflect the global trend of improving environmental and social responsibility. Industries have adopted numerous corporate social responsibility (CSR) frameworks to shape policies to improve sustainability, mitigate risk, and increase marketability. A CSR that has become increasingly relevant within the mining industry is the use of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) to influence sustainability policy. Mining companies have adopted ESG as a method to influence their corporate policy to manage public relations, …

Generating gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from gold chloride solution by precipitating with compounds can be difficult due to the potentially required high temperatures. Tin chloride can be used to overcome this dilemma. The process that is known to make Purple of Cassius is a method where gold chloride and tin chloride solutions are mixed to form AuNPs and tin oxide precipitate. However, it is modified by adding hydrazine to resolubilize the tin oxide and provide a more stable solution for the AuNPs. A three-factor central composite experimentally designed model was created using Design Expert incorporating pH, temperature, and gold concentration as …
