Cyanide leaching "heap" at a gold mining operation near Elko, Nevada. On top of the large mounds of ore, are sprinklers dispensing a solution of cyanide. Gold extraction is the extraction of gold from dilute ores using a combination of chemical processes. Gold mining produces about 3600 tons annually, [1] and another 300 tons is produced from ...
Ammonium thiosulfate (ammonium thiosulphate in British English) is an inorganic compound with the formula [NH 4] 2 S 2 O 3. It is white crystalline solid with ammonia odor, readily soluble in water , slightly soluble in acetone and insoluble in ethanol and diethyl ether .
Gold cyanidation (also known as the cyanide process or the MacArthur–Forrest process) is a hydrometallurgical technique for extracting gold from low-grade ore by converting the gold to a water-soluble coordination complex. It is the most commonly used leaching process for gold extraction. [1]
Sodium thiosulfate and ammonium thiosulfate have been proposed as alternative lixiviants to cyanide for extraction of gold from ores [8] and printed circuit boards. [9] The complex [Au(S 2 O 3) 2] 3-is assumed to be the principal product in such extractions. Presently cyanide salts are used on a large scale for that purpose with obvious risks. [8]
The plant's approximate production capacity on an annual basis is currently 575,000 tons of ammonium sulfate; 570,000 tons of sulfuric acid, of which 139,000 tons are available for sale and the ...

Bioleaching is the extraction or liberation of metals from their ores through the use of living organisms.Bioleaching is one of several applications within biohydrometallurgy and several methods are used to treat ores or concentrates containing copper, zinc, lead, arsenic, antimony, nickel, molybdenum, gold, silver, and cobalt.
General Motors is adding over 132,000 heavy-duty pickups in the U.S. to a previous recall for tailgate release switches that can short circuit and open the gates while the trucks are in park. The ...
