Gold oxidation, complexation and dissolution are rapid, and effective recovery of the gold at acceptable leach rates is possible. The use of electrochemical oxidation for regeneration of iodine complex from iodide in solution obviates the need for reintroduction of significant additional amounts of scarce elemental iodine.

Gold cyanidation (also known as the cyanide process or the MacArthur-Forrest process) is a hydrometallurgical technique for extracting gold from low-grade ore by converting the gold to a water-soluble coordination complex.It is the most commonly used leaching process for gold extraction.. Production of reagents for mineral processing to recover gold, copper, zinc and silver represents ...

In the process, the waste PCBs of mobile phones were pre-treated in supercritical water, then a diluted hydrochloric acid leaching (HL) process was used to recovery the Cu, whose leaching efficiency was approximately , finally the resulting residue was subjected to the iodine-iodide leaching process for recovering the Au, Ag, and Pd.

Subsequently, numerous studies have been devoted to developing the iodine–iodide leaching process for the recovery of gold from gold chips, gold ores, and WPCBs [27,28,29]. Nevertheless, the main obstacles of the leaching process are high reagent consumptions, higher reagent costs, and the complex chemistry of gold leaching in iodide solution.

Abstract Iodine–iodide leaching is an effective and environmentally friendly gold extraction method that is expected to replace cyanidation. However, as the price of iodine is relatively high, for the industrial application of iodine–iodide leaching, decreasing the required amount of iodine is important to reduce production costs. In this study, persulfate was used to replace iodine as the ...

Iodine–iodide gold leaching also has an advantage that the leaching system could be operated in a wide pH range (pH 2 to 10), whereas the cyanide leaching should be operated under relatively restricted alkaline conditions (pH 10 to 11). Iodine–iodide gold leaching is however disadvantageous in the high cost for both iodine and iodide .

The method I am attempting is leaching with Lugol's Solution. Reputedly, it is a selective leach and will only dissolve gold, leaving the base metals. Lugol's Solution (iodine, sodium iodide, water) is not the most popular method of leaching, due to the high cost of iodine, but it has been well known as a leach since the late 1800's.
