- Abstract
Aqueous lixiviant is a leach liquour capable of dissolving all or part of ore or concentrate. lt plays a critical role in the hydrometallurgical process. Although cyanide leaching of gold and silver has demonstrated success in the industry for 100 years, searching for innovative lixiviants to leach gold, copper, and other heavy metals effectively, economically, and environmentally has never stopped. This paper reviews the aqueous lixiviant's principle, summarizes the types used in numerous sites, and presents its new applications.
