A study of the factors affecting copper cementation of gold from ammoniacal thiosulphate solution

Thiosulphate leaching of gold is a proposed alternative to cyanide leaching for certain types of refractory gold ores. The most promising method for recovering gold from thiosulphate leach solutions is by copper cementation. This study focused on determining how the factors of pH/ammonia concentr...
