plant design for leaching gold with thiourea

A systematic review of sustainable gold extraction from raw ores …

Environmentally friendly ligands, alternatives to cyanide, are desired to extract gold for the sustainable hydrometallurgy of gold. Leaching characteristics of gold were examined using thiourea (TU) and ethylene thiourea (ETU) as ligands from three types of gold ores with different Fe contents from 2.70 to 14.09 wt% under the acidic condition.

Thiourea

Leaching gold with thiourea is a successful, cost-effective measure as thiourea rapidly reacts with gold and has less environmental impact than cyanide leaching (Zhang et al., 2009). Thiourea solution was used for leaching a sulfide concentrate, resulting in the extraction of 83% gold and 75% silver in 4 h ( Hiskey, 1984 ).
