Recovery of gold from secondary sourcesA review
#0183;#32;Gold extraction from cyanide solutions was done by using the commercially available phosphine oxide, Cyanex 921 and results showed that an effective extractant for gold(I) cyanide, the extraction reaction, a solvation reaction, does not involve any specific interaction between the aurocyanide complex and the phosphine oxide (Alguacil et al., 1994).
