Extraction of gold from an Indian lowgrade refractory

Although cyanide has been the primary lixiviant for the extraction of gold for over a century now, it is associated with certain shortcomings such as toxicity, long leaching times and considerable interaction with other nonferrous metals present in the gold ores.
