The amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) has been intensely increasing over the recent decades. In this view, the efficient recovery of metals from WEEE will allow a secure supply of raw materials and will contribute to a circular economy. Among many factors currently affecting the contribution of recycling, is the …

covery of gold using gravity-often in conjunction with a conventional carbon-in-pulp (CIP) or carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuit. Generally the g ravity gold concentrates are high-grade with gold grades of 20,000 ppm and with relatively low mass at 0.03% of the plant feed. Bowl centrifugal concentrators (BCC's) such as the inline

The effect of HNO3 in a 30-min leach in recycled electrolyte is described in table 4. Leaching was discontinued after 30 min because with longer time it was difficult to distinguish between the effects of the different catalysts. Without using HNO3 in the leaching solution, Pb extraction was only 28.4 pct in recycled electrolyte.

Typical of electrowinning from aqueous solutions is copper electrowinning. The electrolyte entering the cells contains 25–60 g l-1 of copper, 50–180 g l-1 of sulfuric acid, and 5–10 g l-1 of iron salts (Habashi, 1998). It is produced by leaching of copper ores, with solution purification by solvent extraction.

Electrowinning is the electrolytic process of "winning" or recovering dissolved metal using an applied potential. An example of an electrowon copper plate is shown in Fig. 7.1. This process is practiced extensively in the metals industry. Copper, zinc, and gold, as well as other metals are produced by this process.

If you want to leach gold you need an oxidizing environment (add chlorine gas or clorox) until you reach an ORP of 1000mV, at a Ph of about 5, hopefully warm temperature and you will leach gold. Once in solution, separate liquid from solids, reduce the ORP to 100 -500 mV using NaHSO3 and your gold will precipitate.
