Effect of minerals on the stability of gold in copper ammoniacal thiosulfate solutions - The role of copper, silver and polythionates

The effect of some typical oxide and sulide minerals, as well as activated carbon, on synthetic gold thiosulfate leach solutions was examined. The presences of pyrite and goethite in a synthetic ore slurry have a significant effect on the adsorption and stability of gold, silver, copper and polyth...
