FILTER-PRESS-TYPE ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTOR FOR RECOVERING GOLD (AU) AND SILVER (AG) VALUES IN POWDER FORM

摘要

The invention is applicable to the recovering gold (Au) and silver (Ag) values resulting from the leaching of mined materials with which in the cathode, a process of reduction of the values of Au (I) and Ag (I) dissolved in a leaching liquor is performed; and in the anode, an oxidation reaction is performed, jointly taking advantage of the employed energy and using for the electro-recovering of non-adhesive deposits values from Ag (I) and Au (I) values an expanded metal three-dimensional cathode made of piles of stainless steel.
