The electrodeposition-redox replacement (EDRR) process is a promising method for a selective extraction of minor metals from complex mixtures. When it is performed in a benign medium (such as sodium chlor-ide solution or deep eutectic solvent), the EDRR method provides a non-toxic alternative for a conven-tional cyanide-based process.

Iodine is capable to extract gold a very fast (average dissolution rate of 65.679 mg·h −1 ·cm −2 at 25 °C). At higher temperature the dissolution rate increased up to 806.161 mg·h −1 ·cm −2. It …
Gold cyanidation is by far the main industrial gold leaching process and it has been used for over a century in large-scale gold extraction operations all over the world (Deschênes, 2016).In spite of this, raising concerns regarding the toxicity of cyanide and its inability to efficiently leach carbonaceous and refractory ores has led to an increased interest in …
Gold, a significant precious metal, has high corrosion resistance, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity [].In the field of gold extraction and smelting, refractory gold ore is one of the most important gold resources at present [].Approximately 30% of the world's gold production is derived from refractory gold ore, and this proportion is expected to increase even …
In mining industries, biomining (comprising biooxidation and bioleaching) is implemented to extract metals from specific ores and waste streams with less environmental effect and expense. Usually, micron-sized gold particles are held in a crystal lattice of iron sulfide minerals and expensively extracted using common approaches. Researchers and industries …
The cyanide process is the dominant method for gold recovery from ores, but due to different technical and environmental issues the established cyanide process reaches its limit.
Roasting destroys sulfide grains and exposes gold to cyanide. This method also forms low-melting compound coatings on gold grains, which hinders leaching and reduces gold extraction (Kellogg et al ...
Non-cyanide extraction of gold is now the focus, and N-bromosuccinimide(NBS) is attracting attention. ... The leaching of gold by active Br 2 in this study is a redox reaction. And the formation of AuBr 2 ... pH 8, 25 °C and leaching for 20 …
The systematic results are believed to offer new insights into the reaction mechanism and demonstrated that NBS has great potential to develop a simple, eco-friendly …
This technique is known as smelting. This was the earliest method used to extract the mineral from the ore. Smelting involves heating the ore to a very high temperature, often in a blast furnace. ... The most common methods are flotation, leaching and use of redox reactions. ... but one of the more common methods is called gold cyanidation.
A research team has effectively replaced cyanide in a crucial step of gold extraction from ore. Credit: Robert von Bonsdorff/Aalto University. Study shows new chloride-based process recovers 84% of gold compared to the 64% recovered with traditional methods. Gold is one of the world's most popular metals.
There are three common methods to balance redox reactions: the half-reaction method, the oxidation number change method (which also uses half-reactions), and the aggregate redox species method. All three should get you the same balanced result, but the steps to get it differ.
My chemistry book says the following: In the metallurgy of silver and gold, the respective metal is leached with a dilute solution of $ce{NaCN}$ in presence of $ce{O2}$ as a result of which the following reaction takes place: $$ce{4M + 8 NaCN + 2H2O + O2 -> 4Na[M(CN)2] + 4NaOH}$$. Here $ce{M=Ag,Au}$.Now my question is since the complex …
An alternative to conventional recovery processes for gold (i.e. carbon adsorption, ion exchange, and solvent extraction) has been developed recently, namely the electrodeposition-redox ...
In this reaction, solid gold (Au) reacts with sodium cyanide (NaCN) and water (H2O) to form a soluble gold complex, sodium gold cyanide (Na[Au(CN)2]). This process is highly efficient, allowing for the extraction of gold from ore at …
It is a method of extracting gold using cyanide, by converting the gold to a water soluble coordination complex. The process is supported by two facts, gold is soluble in dilute solutions of cyanide, and second, the pregnant solution can be processed successfully by using zinc powder or activated carbon and electrowinning. ...

Refractory gold-bearing ores pose unique challenges to the mining industry due to the encapsulation of gold within sulfide minerals or other complex matrices. To address these challenges, alternative methods have been developed to improve the extraction of gold from these stubborn ores. One promising approach is the use of biological methods, such as bioleaching …
The cyanide process, which is also known as the Macarthur-forest process, is widely used in extracting gold or silver from the ores by dissolving them in a dilute solution of potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide. This process was introduced in the year 1887 by Scottish chemists named Robert W. Forrest, John S. MacArthur and William Forrest. This method involves three main …
