Abstract
In the present study, a series of adsorption tests by using strong acidic cation exchange resins were carried out on a pregnant solution containing thiourea complexes of gold, iron, copper and zinc, and then elution tests were conducted by using different kinds of eluates. From the results obtained in this experiments, it was found that Amberlite 200C was the most effective among the ion exchangers used for the recovery of Au (CS (NH2) 2)2+. By the use of Amberlite 200C, it was acertained to be able to separate gold from other metal thiourea complexes through adsorption and elution processes.
