Leaching Pyrite Gold Ore without Cyanide
Thiourea Leaching. In order to compare gold dissolution from the ore with and without pretreatment for another lixiviant, the system of thioureaferric sulfate was chosen. Figure 9 shows the results for gold leaching at [SC(NH2)2]0 of M ( g/L) and [Fe+3]0 of M ( g/L) and pH 2.
