 — Studies (Tan et al., 2017) have shown that 1 ton of waste mobile phone printed circuit boards (WMPCBs) contain 0.86–1.6 kg of gold, 0.14–5.8 kg of silver, and 259–550 kg of copper, and the amount of gold recovered from waste mobile phones can meet nearly 10% of the global electronics manufacturing industry's demand for gold.

 — Currently, cyanide is the predominant lixiviant used to extract gold due to its strong complexation with gold and the technical simplicity of the leaching process (Avraamides, 1982, Habashi, 1987, Marsden and House, 2006).However, the use of cyanide can bring challenges in terms of environmental, health and safety aspects …

 — The results showed that the content of gold varied from 142 to 700 g/ton. The cyanide-based solution was able to extract 88% of the gold, while sodium and ammonium thiosulfate extracted 70 and 75% of the gold, respectively. The electrowinning tests showed a 94% recovery of the gold present in thiosulfate solutions.

 — Over the past three decades, a significant amount of literature has examined alternative lixiviants to cyanide for recovering gold, while few industrial applications have been reported due to ...

 — There are two standard methods for extracting gold from electronic scraps: burning off the gold using high temperatures, which is energy intensive, expensive, and …

To remove gold through cyanide gold recovery process you have to first … I know the question how to recover gold from cell phones is still echoing in …

 — The reactions that take place during the dissolution of gold in cyanide solutions under normal conditions have been fairly definitely established. Most agree that the overall cyanide equation for leaching and cyanidation of gold is as follows: 4 Au + 8 NaCN + O2 + 2 H20 = 4 NaAu(CN)2 + 4 NaOH . Cyanide Leaching Chemistry

 — This cell wall is composed of several functional groups, including carboxyl, phosphonate and amine groups [11], [12]. These groups can bind to a variety of heavy metals. ... The following conclusions were drawn from the present investigation into the recovery of gold from gold(I)–cyanide solution using ion exchange resin, activated …

 — The most commonly used cyanide salts are KCN and NaCN, which are easily soluble in water. Cyanide leaching is the dominating process for gold recovery from primary resources, due to its simplicity ...

 — How Much Gold Is in a Cell Phone? The amount of gold in cell phones is less than motherboards but still valuable. A cell phone generally contains about 0.001 to 0.02 grams of gold, mostly found in its …

Special gold-selective resins provide an economical advantage over the more commonly used activated carbon for the recovery of gold from cyanide leach-liquors. This is especially true in the case of preg-robbing ores, as well as ores containing high concentrations of undesirable base metals, especially copper.
