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 (Aylmore, 2005, Laitos, 2012).

Cyanidation has been used to extract gold (and silver) from ores, concentrates, and calcines since the 1890s. The precipitation of gold from cyanide solutions by zinc cementation was patented in 1884 and was applied industrially as early as the cyanidation process.

The use of cyanide-leaching agents for the recovery of precious metals have resulted in environmental concerns. Consequently there was considerable need for an alternative leachant, especially for the recovery of gold and silver that are present mainly in cell phones in considerable amounts, amongst other precious metals (Abbruzzese et al., 1994).
