THIOSULPHATE LEACHING – AN ALTERNATIVE TO CYANIDATION .
similar gold recovery as cyanide in some cases, while in cases such as pregrobbing ores (naturally occurring carbonaceous material that preferentially absorbs the gold cyanide complex but not the gold thiosulphate complex), it can yield substantially better recovery than cyanide. • The thiosulphate leaching of gold ores has great potential to reduce the impact on the environment compared to ...
