Alternative Lixiviants to Cyanide for Leaching Gold Ores

Although some alternative reagents can give higher gold extractions with carbonaceous or refractory gold ores (Wan et al., 1995; Choi et al., 2013), cyanidation often achieves the highest overall gold recovery. For high-grade ores and concentrates, the economic benefit of increased gold recovery usually outweighs the reagent cost and increased ...

Thiosulphate as an alternative to cyanide for gold processing – …

Thiosulphate is an attractive alternative reagent to cyanide for processing gold ores. It is relatively cheap and non-toxic, forms relatively strong gold and silver complexes, and readily leaches gold ores in ammoniacal solutions, catalysed by Cu(II). It is particularly suited to carbonaceous ores where the recovery of gold by cyanide is poor.
