A method of chemical and electrochemical gold leaching from a refractory concentrate is scientifically substantiated and tested in [24, 25]. This method is based on the use of sodium chloride solution electrochemically treated in an undivided cell (without membrane separation of the electrode space) as a solvent, after treatment it is …
Cyanide is a lixiviant, or reagent that is used to leach, often in tanks, gold from a solid matrix and form a gold cyanide complex. The gold cyanide complex is then extracted from the pulp or slurry by adsorption onto activated carbon. CIL stands for carbon-in-leach. This is a gold extraction process called cyanidation where ... Gold …

years the most applied method for gold extraction was cyanidation, due to its higher chemical stability and lower costs (Keskinen, 2013; Oferi-Sarpong and Oseo-Asare, 2013). However, the application of cyanide as a leaching agent causes serious environmental problems due to its toxicity. So far, non-cyanide gold extraction methods have been in-
mation of chlorine gas (pH < 3.5), the optimum leaching parameters were determined. The optimum conditions were obtained at 200 g/dm 3 3calcium hypochlorite, 200 g/dm sodium chloride and initial pH 11
Moreover, chlorination allows the use of conventional techniques (carbon in pulp or carbon in leach) for the recovery of gold [21]. 2. Materials and methods2.1. Gold concentrate. The refractory gold bearing material was supplied by Institute of Environmental Geology and Geoengineering (IGAG); and it is an industrial waste with a …
This study showed the kinetics of gold chlorination leaching from an anode slime complex containing copper, silver, barium, selenium, and tellurium. AgCl and BaSO4 control the rate of gold leaching, and the interface transfer and diffusion across the product was selected as the desirable kinetic model. The concentration of hydrochloric acid, …
If you want to leach gold you need an oxidizing environment (add chlorine gas or clorox) until you reach an ORP of 1000mV, at a Ph of about 5, hopefully warm temperature and you will leach gold. Once in solution, separate liquid from solids, reduce the ORP to 100 -500 mV using NaHSO3 and your gold will precipitate.
Hypochlorite leaching system is a strong oxidizing solution for metal sulfides, which are naturally associated with gold extraction. This study evaluated the hypochlorite leaching of refractory gold ore by using the response surface method–central composite design (RSM-CCD) as a statistical approach in determining the optimum condition of …

The use of CaS 2 O 3 salt instead of Na 2 S 2 O 3 or (NH 4) 2 S 2 O 3 salt in the leach has beneficial effects on gold extraction, where calcium appears to prevent the formation of thiosulfate degradation products on the gold surface and assists in the maintenance of a constant and high leach rate during prolonged leaching (Feng and …
Gold leaching involves the dissolution of gold particles into a liquid medium, typically a cyanide or alternative lixiviant solution. The process aims to extract gold from low-grade ores or refractory ores that are not easily processed through conventional methods such as gravity separation or direct smelting.
Alkaline sulfur-containing lixiviants, including thiosulfate, polysulfides, and alkaline sulfide solutions, stand out as a promising class of alternatives to cyanide because of their low toxicity, high efficiency, and strong adaptability. In this paper, we summarized the research progress and remaining challenges in gold extraction using these …

Chlorine is the cheapest and lightest product that can achieve this. Bleach is the chemical compound sodium hypochlorite. When combined with hydrochloric acid, the mixture produces chlorine that dissolves gold from gold ore. This was the first commercial method used for gold extraction.
The results of the leaching tests are influenced by the applied physicochemical boundary conditions. The use of a standard test method that best replicates the leaching conditions in the field is still hotly debated. Apart from the tests used for concrete, there are two specific methods to assess the leachability of shotcrete [9]. Both ...

This document summarizes a research article that investigates using a hot mixture of hydrochloric acid and ground manganese (IV) oxide to dissolve gold metal. The best results were obtained at 90°C and 639 kPa of pressure, dissolving gold at a rate of 0.250 g/cm2h. This rate is compared to other industrial reagents used to dissolve gold like aqua regia. …
The most prominent advantage of halide leaching is the high gold dissolution rate. In addition, sulfide components and passivation hardly affect the kinetics of halide leaching. Chlorine leaching was once very popular and was the mainstream process before the 18th century but was later replaced by cyanidation.
Traditionally, once gold ore is mined from the ground, it's crushed to a powder and passed through a series of tanks in a process called leaching. Cyanide is then used to separate the gold from ...
3.6. Precipitating the Gold. The classic method of reducing gold chloride in solution to solid gold particles is to add "copperas" to the solution. "Copperas" is an ancient name for ferrous sulphate, a rather cheap chemical. A number of other chemicals will also 'reduce' the gold chloride but Storm Precipitant (available from Shor) is better.
