In China, the consumption of gold jewelry has been increasing steadily over the past decades, which results in a constant strong demand. Gold resources can hardly meet the needs of the domestic market, and imbalance between supply and demand is becoming increasingly tense. It is the fact that China requires overseas gold resources. Under the guidance of environmental protection and sustainable development concept, it is essentially urgent to make best use of the advantages of domestic gold resources besides increasing the import of overseas gold resources. For the purpose of achieving the balance of gold demand and supply, the investigating of industrial alternatives for gold and taking active use of regenerated gold seem to be equally important.
