Gold Leaching from an Oxide Ore Using Thiocyanate as a …
Abstract. Thiocyanate (SCN –) is a promising alternative to cyanide as a lixiviant for gold extraction and is 1000 times less toxic than cyanide.In this study, the following leaching parameters were tested to optimize the gold recovery for the first time from an oxide ore using the response surface methodology: initial thiocyanate concentration (10–500 mM), initial Fe 3+ …

Leaching of gold from a free milling gold ore in copper-citrate
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).

Gold-copper ores
Some of the gold contained in the ore is recovered in the flotation stage, but the majority remains in the tailing, which may be regarded as a synthetic magnetite. The tailing averaged 3.2 g/t gold and 0.75% copper. The plant was designed to use the Hunt Process, which involved the cyanidation of copper-bearing gold ores in the presence of ammonia.

Gold-Copper Ores
An example of this has been elaborated in Table 43.2, Table 43.3, Table 43.4, where the addition of 250 g/t of lead nitrate had a significant impact on gold extraction. The ore in question contained chalcocite, and it could perhaps have been predicted that lead might be of benefit even in the ammoniacal cyanidation test work.
