The electrowinning tests showed a 94% recovery of the gold present in thiosulfate solutions. Keywords: Gold Recovery; Hydrometallurgy; Electrometallurgy; Printed Circuit Boards; Thiosulfate
— The reactions that take place during the dissolution of gold in cyanide solutions under normal conditions have been fairly definitely established. Most agree that the overall cyanide equation for leaching and cyanidation of gold is as follows: 4 Au + 8 NaCN + O2 + 2 H20 = 4 NaAu(CN)2 + 4 NaOH . Cyanide Leaching Chemistry
— Electronic waste (e-waste) has emerged as a valuable secondary source of metals, including precious metals (PMs), surpassing those found in natural ores. The objective of this study is to explore the use of cellulose-based adsorbents, specifically dithiocarbamate-modified cellulose (DMC) and proline-incorporated DMC with epoxy …

In this process sodium cyanide, in a dilute solution of ranging from 100 ppm to 500 ppm or 0.01% to 0.05% cyanide, is used to selectively dissolve gold from ore. The two most common processes that use cyanide for gold recovery are heap leaching and milling, also known as carbon-in-leach (CIL).
Several electrochemical separations have also been developed, including a process to recover gold from a cyanide leachate solution using a highly porous glassy carbon …
Cyanide leaching is the major hydrometallurgical method for the recovery of gold from ores on a commercial scale. There are many different factors that can affect cyanide leaching, such as the associated minerals in the ore, that can impact the levels of cyanide and oxygen available for the cyanidation process.
