Thiosulfate is a green gold leaching agent that shows great potential to replace the highly toxic cyanide. Ammonia is traditionally used as the copper ligand in thiosulfate solutions to reduce the reactivity of copper ions towards thiosulfate, but it is a toxic reagent. As a result, efforts to replace ammonia with another complexing agent …

In this work, sodium dicyanamide (SD) was used as a leaching reagent for gold recovery, and the effects of the SD dosage and solution pH on the gold-leaching performance were investigated. A gold recovery of 34.8% was obtained when SD was used as the sole leaching reagent at a dosage of 15 kg/t. In the presence of a certain amount …

The substitutes for cyanide can be classified as traditional and novel non-cyanide gold leaching reagents. The traditional alternatives mainly include thiourea, halide, polysulfide, thiocyanate, lime sulfur synthetic solution (LSSS), and thiosulfate (Hilson and Monhemius, 2006, Sun et al., 2020, Xing et al., 2019).Although considerable …

Gold Leaching Process Circuit NO. CY-1. This leach plant shows the continuous counter-current decantation system, in which all the ore is first reduced to a very fine state in the grinding mill-classifier circuit, in a Gold Leaching solution. The slime overflow of the classifier, usually 70%—200 mesh, or finer, is sent to the first thickener ...

Gold Leaching Gold Leaching. Gold occurs in nature as the element (more commonly as an alloy of Au and Ag, or Au and Te, etc.). Ores may contain as little as 1-10 g Au/t (only 1-10 parts per million!). Gold metal is insoluble in water, regardless of pH. Can it be oxidized? There are two common oxidation states. Au(I) and Au(III).
