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
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 ...
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.
The leaching of gold is then accomplished by maintaining a temperature of 5070⁰ The 2009 Patent15 mentions that the thiosulfate concentration in the leaching container may have to be subsidized with more thiosulfate as the test goes along "to prevent the re precipitation of gold as its sulfide." The overall thiosulfate leaching ...

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 ...
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 .
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 .
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.
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.
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].

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).
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
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.
moniafree thiosulfate leaching. 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
Mar 01, 2020· Leaching tests using gold powder showed that the gold dissolution in a thiosulfate‑oxygen‑copper system in the absence of activated carbon was very slow, with only 2% gold dissolved over 24 h. In contrast, in the presence of activated carbon as an additive the gold leach recovery was dramatically improved to over 95% in the same period.
Fundamental aspects of the thiocyanate system are discussed with reference to the leaching of gold. ... More recent development of a thiosulfateleaching plant at Barrick Gold''s Goldstrike ...

The standard potentials for the oxidation of gold to gold thiosulfate and gold sulfide are and – respectively (Hiskey and Atluri, 1986). Given that the mixed potential measured during leaching was −515mV, it is likely that the lixiviant in this instance is sulfide rather than thiosulfate.
Jan 01, 2016· Kinetics of Gold Leaching. The fundamental kinetic and electrochemical aspects of gold and silver leaching in thiosulfate media have been extensively studied and have been largely summarized by Senanayake (2012).
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 ...
