Processes for recovering gold from coppergold ores thiosulfate leaching or gold ores copper catalyzed thiosulfate leaching using ion exchange technology are disclosed. The processes include subjecting the goldbearing and copperbearing thiosulfate solution to a pH and/or temperature adjustment to reduce tetrathionate concentration in the thiosulfate solution prior to contacting with an .

Thiosulfate leaching offers a number of benefits related to gold recovery yields and environmental concerns: Thiosulfate leaching of gold ores has great potential to reduce the impact on the environment. Unlike cyanide, which is highly toxic, the chemicals used in the thiosulfate leaching process are benign.

A fundamental study was undertaken of the dissolution of gold using a novel thiosulfate leaching system that utilises ferric oxalate as the oxidant in place of the traditional cupric ammine.

gold electrode (m2), and t is the time elapsed (s). Thus, the slope of the kinetic plot is a measure of the leaching rate. It can be seen from Figure 1 that the gold/silver leach rate increases as a function of time, eventually reaching a steady state value after 350s. At steady state, the leaching rate for gold/silver is

Jul 16, 2016· For clarity, the different components in the thiosulfate leaching system are discussed separately. Thiosulfate leaching . In alkaline or near neutral solution of thiosulfate, gold dissolves slowly in the presence of a mild oxidant (White, 1905). The dissolution of the gold can be described as follows where oxygen is the oxidant and thiosulfate the

Thiosulfate leaching can be considered a nontoxic process, the gold dissolution rates can be faster than conventional cyanidation and, due to the decreased interference of foreign cations, high gold recoveries can be obtained from the thiosulfate leaching of complex and carbonaceoustype ores. In addition, thiosulfate can be cheaper than cyanide.

In this article, a comprehensive review of fundamental studies of leaching of gold from different ores in ammoniafree thiosulfate solutions is presented with special emphasis on factors that ...

1. Introduction. Thiosulfate as an alternative to cyanide is a promising reagent to gold leaching from ores and other materials containing gold (Abbruzzese et al., 1995).Numerous studies have reported that thiosulfate system has an excellent leaching characteristics, very low price and security risk compared to the cyanidation (Jeffrey, 2001, Molleman and Dreisinger, 2002).

Title: Fundamental aspects of gold leaching in thiosulfate solutions: Creator: Li, Cheng: Date Issued: 2003: Description: The kinetics and mechanism of gold leaching in the ammoniathiosulfatecopper (ATSCu) system have been studied using the rotating .

Abstract. Thiosulfate offers a nontoxic alternative to cyanide for processing gold ores. The mechanism of leaching gold using ammoniacal thiosulfate solution is driven by the Cu(II)Cu(I) redox couple and is complicated by competing ligands such as NH 3 and S 2 O 3 2−.It is shown that an understanding of the copper speciation and sulfur speciation is required to optimize this system.

The ammoniacal thiosulfate leaching process for gold and silver extraction has been reviewed in terms of leaching mechanism, thermodynamics, thiosulfate stability, and gold recovery options.

Leach Gold using Hyposulphite Of Sodium AKA Thiosulfate . Thiosulfate Gold Extraction Leach These solutions have very little solving action upon the natural sulphide contained in goldbearing ore, and should be suitable solutions for the treatment of gold or silver ore, as they have a greater solving power than cyanide of potash, are not poisonous, and can be obtained in very large quantities ...

this past research has focused on the leaching of gold from ores with thiosulfate and fundamental studies of the complex system chemistry and interactions with minerals, particularly the detrimental impact of sulfide minerals. There has also been a number of thiosulfate leach systems investigated which are characterised by the oxidant system used.

Jul 24, 2020· The effect of ultrasound on gold leaching rate and kinetics was investigated in the CoNH3S2O32− system. First, the effects of ultrasound power, temp.

The gold industry has been seeking alternative reagents for leaching gold from lowgrade ores for the past 25 years. The cost and transport of cyanide, the poor recovery of gold from carbonaceous ores, the lack of selectivity of cyanide towards copper minerals and the cost of waste treatment are real factors which can make cyanide unattractive in some circumstances. However there are also ...

Although researchers have extensively investigated the fundamentals of thiosulfate leaching, progress toward its commercial application remains slow because of several main obstacles, which include high thiosulfate consumption, gold passivation, and immature subsequent processing of gold recovered from leached solutions [29 – 30].
