The electrodeposition-redox replacement (EDRR) process is a promising method for a selective extraction of minor metals from complex mixtures. When it is performed in a benign medium (such as sodium chloride solution or deep eutectic solvent), the EDRR method provides a non-toxic alternative for a conventional cyanide-based process.

Cyanide Process
The cyanide process, which is also known as the Macarthur-forest process, is widely used in extracting gold or silver from the ores by dissolving them in a dilute solution of potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide. This process was introduced in the year 1887 by Scottish chemists named Robert W. Forrest, John S. MacArthur and William Forrest. This method involves three main …

Gos and Rubo (2001) have defined three important criteria for an effective alternative lixiviant: low cost, low toxicity, and scalability for fast gold leaching processes. In general, the cyanide gold leaching reaction rate is relatively slow, thus the kinetics of gold leaching with alternative lixiviants has not been a key concern.
