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 the ore into the leached solution. With the new process, the leaching and recovery process is done with chloride, one of two elements in table salt.

Drawing on recent experimental and commercial developments, this review reappraises potential substitute leach reagents for cyanide in the gold mining sector. In …

Leaching process of gold. 3. Methodology In this study, cyanide had been used as a leaching reagent for gold leaching process. The feed composition used in the HSC simulation was ores (Au) = 0.15 kg/hr, O2 = 113.45 kg/hr, CN- = 2.9117kg/hr, OH- = 0.9519 kg/hr, Na+ = 4.0397 kg/hr and H2O = 55994 kg/hr from literature. The gold cyanidation leaching

Leaching of gold from the gold ore by thiourea has been fully taken into account because of its higher leaching efficiency, low-price and faster kinetics as well as less environmental impact comparing with cyanide. In this study, thiourea leaching was used to leach gold from the second stage roasting slag.

Keywords: Hydrometallurgy; Leaching; Gold 1. INTRODUCTION Many gold ores are problematic as they contain metal sulfides, such as pyrite, arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. These ores are often refractory, as the gold is encapsulated within the sulfide matrix. In order to recover the gold, the host matrix must be destroyed.
