Thiosulfate is a green gold leaching agent that shows great potential to replace the highly toxic cyanide. Ammonia is traditionally used as the copper ligand in thiosulfate solutions to reduce the reactivity of copper ions towards thiosulfate, but it is a toxic reagent. As a result, efforts to replace ammonia with another complexing agent have received increasing attention. In this …

Cyanide is the major leachate for gold production in the mining industry because of its high leaching efficiency, low cost, and high stability [8], [9]. About 90% of the gold ore is produced with cyanidation globally [10], [11]. The gold-bearing ores are mixed with cyanide solution at an alkaline pH and dissolved in the reaction as follows [12]:
