Dissolution of gold in the presence of copper ion and diethylenetriamine (DETA)

Abstract: Cyanidation is the most widely used technique for gold extraction worldwide. However, its efficiency in gold extraction has decreased due to gold association with base metals such as copper. Copper is known to form different complexes with cyanide depending on the pulp pH. These Cu-CN complexes deplete the pulp of free cyanide, thereby decreasing gold leaching. The study examined the application of diethylenetriamine (DETA) in cyanidation to minimise copper ions effect on gold cyanidation. Leaching tests perfo… Show more
