ELe-auex gold extraction agent series represent a group of chemical compounds that are capable of effectively extracting gold from gold ores or E-scrap materials. ELe-auex product series is not a simple chemical but a compound that is produced of several common chemicals mixed and fused in a high-temperature autoclave (650-760 oC).
Unlike gold leaching mechanism in sodium cyanide solution that CN- is the only powerful component that attacks (dissolves) gold and forms soluble Au(CN)− 2 ion, ELe-auex solution contains several components, though each individual component may not as strong as CN -, that involve gold dissolving process and form soluble Au complexions. The combined gold dissolving capacity of these individual components released from ELe-auex is equivalent or even stronger than that of Cyanide. Below are several possible chemical reactions that may involve in the ELe-auex gold extraction mechanism:
