industries, gold extraction via traditional mining from ore is unable to meet the growing demand (1–7). Thus, it is imperative to complement mining with the development of efficient routes to extract gold from nonconventional sources like electronic waste (e-waste) (8–10). For the recovery of gold from e-waste, adsorption
The gold leaching efficiency of cyanidation was 0.73 %. Such low gold leaching efficiency demonstrated that gold of the tailings was. Conclusions. In this study, an eco-friendly and efficient pre-treatment method was proposed to facilitate extracting gold from the tailings, which was ammonium bifluoride pretreating the gold tailings.

1. Introduction. Gold is a rare metal, and it is widely used in aerospace applications, medicines, electronics, and other high-end fields [1].Gold mainly depends on the use of cyanide as a lixiviant to extract gold from ores by hydrometallurgy [2], [3].However, cyanide harms the environment and organisms, and it has been banned in …
Pectin obtained from different extraction methods showed different degree of branching. The Mw and root mean square (RMS) radius varied with the extraction methods with values of 8.4 × 10(5) g/mol and 92 nm, 8.5 × 10(5)g/mol and 102 nm, 6.7 × 10(5) g/mol and 52 nm for acid, water and enzymatic extraction methods, respectively.
This can be accomplished using activated carbon, membranes (Andrade et al., 2017; Villalobos et al., 2014), bioadsorbents (Tsuruta, 2004), solvent extraction (Raiguel et al., 2020) and ion-exchange resins (Choi et al., 2020; Gomes et al., 2001). After selectively extracting gold from leaching liquor as adsorbent materials, resin or organic ...
At 26 years old, Steve Chingwaru uncovered 420 tonnes of gold in buried mining waste. Now everyone wants to hire him.
Yang et al. [14] have employed a system containing 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, phosphate salts, and water, ... Gold extraction achieved in the first step was excellent, that is (100 ± 5)%. However, gold purity was very low, around 7%(w/w). This low purity is mainly caused by the higher initial concentration of copper …
A recent study of thiosulfate leaching from a pressure oxidized sulfide gold concentrate has demonstrated that a high gold extraction and negligible thiosulfate consumption could be achieved under low reagents concentrations and continuous aeration (0.2 L air/min) (Lampinen et al., 2015). The variations of mixed potential and DO …

1. Introduction. The efficiency of gold extraction from sulphidic refractory ores (e.g., arsenopyrite (FeAsS) and pyrite (FeS 2)) by direct cyanidation is usually very low (Badri and Zamankhan, 2013, Faraz et al., 2014), since fine gold particles in these ores are mostly locked up in the bulk and therefore inaccessible to leaching agents and dissolved …
