Comparing cyanidation with amalgamation of a Colombian artisanal gold

The same gold precipitation process has been tested using aluminum foil instead of zinc. Results are promising, as 91.68% of the gold was recovered in 2 h. The main challenge with using the MMCP is the need for high agitation during the leaching process and slow agitation during the gold precipitation phase.

Efficient Recycling of Gold and Copper from Electronic …

By tuning the acid concentration, controlled precipitation of gold, zinc and iron can be achieved. We also show that copper can be selectively precipitated using 2,3-pyrazinedicarboxylic acid (2,3-PDCA), as the complex [Cu(2,3-PDCA-H) 2] n ⋅ 2n(H 2 O). The combination of these two precipitation methods resulted in the recovery of 99.5 % of ...

Comparing cyanidation with amalgamation of a Colombian artisanal gold

For high silver content and small-size operations, gold precipitation with zinc can be a more cost-effective option (Marsden and House 2006). As revealed by the chemistry behind the process, gold- and silver-cyanide complexes are reduced (precipitated) by metallic zinc to their native states as Au 0 and Ag 0, and zinc cyanide is formed in the ...

Precipitation of zinc from cyanide leach solutions using Trimercapto-s

In this study, the precipitation of zinc from synthetic/real cyanide solutions using Trimercapto-s-triazine (TMT) was investigated. The effect of reaction period (0–120 min.), concentration of TMT (33–90 mM), pH (10–12.5) and temperature (20–60 °C) on precipitation of zinc was tested using classical one-factor-at-a-time approach.
