Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017216417A1] The invention relates to a method of recovering gold from a gold-bearing concentrated copper chloride solution com¬ prising: a) an electrodeposition step, wherein an external potential or reducing current is applied to an electrode contained in the gold-bearing concentrated copper chloride solution thereby depositing copper and optionally gold on the electrode, b) a redox replacement step, wherein the in step a) applied external potential or reducing current is cut-off or reduced thereby allowing copper deposited on the electrode to be replaced spontaneously by gold contained in the solution thereby obtaining an electrode, which contains gold.
