An Electrochemical Study of the Dissolution of Pure Gold And Gold-Silver Alloys in Thiosulfate Leach Solutions

A fundamental electrochemical study of gold and gold/silver alloys in thiosulfate solutions showed that although the oxidation is a complex process, there was no selective dissolution of either gold or silver from the alloys during oxidation. The presence of copper and thiourea catalyses the oxidati...
