A systematic review of gold extraction: Fundamentals
The kinetics and recovery, selectivity to gold, and adaptability to ores are related to the production efficiency. Some indicators of lixiviants may impact both aspects, such as recyclability, which not only determines eco-friendliness but also affects the economy. The detailed evaluation criteria are shown in Fig. 1.
