摘要
The oxidants of gold were investigated in an alkaline thiourea solution containing Na 2CO 3, in which Na 2S 2O 8 is a proper oxidant for dissolving gold because of in such homogeneous sulfur system coexisting complex agent, oxidant and stabilizing agent. The thermodynamic analyses were conducted on the dissolving of gold in the alkaline thiourea solution containing Na 2SO 3 by the oxidants oxygen or Na 2S 2O 8. The results show that the possibility of gold dissolution reduces with increasing pH value, while oxygen acts as oxidant; and when Na 2S 2O 8 acts as the oxidant of gold in the alkaline thiourea solution of pH 12.5, decomposition potential of thiourea decreases from the standard value 0.42 V to -0.32 V, also the dissolution trend of gold enhances with shifting the mix potential of the solution to the positive direction.
