The leaching of gold and silver in a pH modified glycine solution in the presence of hydrogen peroxide was investigated. It was found that this lixiviant system can dissolve gold and/or silver under neutral and alkaline conditions at ambient to moderately elevated temperatures (23–60 °C). The gold leaching rate in solutions containing 0.5 M ...

The pH adjustment was performed with calcium hydroxide/quicklime. Gold extraction increases from 22.4 to 46.5% and then to 72.2% by increasing the pH from 10 to 11 and to 12 which corresponds to the gold leaching behaviour from pure gold foil. A leach extraction of 86% could be achieved at a pH of 12.4 after 336 h.

Gold leaching in the glycine solution is a chemically controlled process in which temperature is an effective parameter (Eksteen and Oraby, 2015). With the addition of cyanide, the dissolution of gold increases significantly from 8% to 59% within 6 h (from 24 to 30 h) while the dissolution of copper increases from 28 to 31% over the same period
