Leaching and recovery of gold from ore in cyanide-free glycine media
Currently, cyanide is the predominant lixiviant used to extract gold due to its strong complexation with gold and the technical simplicity of the leaching process (Avraamides, 1982, Habashi, 1987, Marsden and House, 2006).However, the use of cyanide can bring challenges in terms of environmental, health and safety aspects (Aylmore, 2005, Laitos, 2012).

Cyanide Free Gold Leaching Alternative
What is cyanide and why do we need cyanide-free gold leaching process? Cyanide (CN –) has been used since 1889 to recover gold from hard rock. As sodium cyanide (NaCN), it reacts with gold, oxygen (O), and water (H 2 O) to form a gold cyanide complex (Na [Au(CN) 2] ) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The chemical reaction dubbed the "Elsner Equation", named …

More than 83 per cent of the world's gold is extracted via cyanidation because of its convenient operation, low cost, and high leaching rate. However, cyanide has a high biological toxicity and poor leaching performance in refractory gold ores (containing copper and carbon) (Nunan et al., 2017, Nwaila et al., 2019).Hence, extensive studies have been conducted on …

Hydrometallurgical Recovery of Gold from Mining Wastes
Recently, Ahtiainen and Lundstrom studied cyanide-free gold leaching in mild chloride media obtaining a gold extraction of 72% at a redox potential <520 mV vs. Ag/AgCl . The combination of chlorination with roasting for the Au extraction showed that 91.6% of Au was recovered using 4% CaCl 2, while heating at 1323 K for 2 h [ 38 ].
