Review A systematic review of gold extraction: Fundamentals
Similar to acid thiourea leaching, Fe(III) is an excellent oxidant in gold thiocyanate leaching with low cost and high effect. Generally, thiocyanate gold leaching is carried out under the following conditions: pH of 1.5–2.5, temperature of 15–50 °C, and molar ratio of dissolved Fe 3+ /SCN-of 2–20 (Azizitorghabeh et al., 2021). 3.1.4.
