Need and motivation of the project:
Currently cyanide leaching technology dominates hydrometallurgical gold production. However, cyanide has a generally poor reputation within wider society and today there are jurisdictions where the use of cyanide is banned or restricted.

Main set targets:

The objective of the AuChloride project is to develop a competitive cyanide free gold extraction and recovery technology for the market. By novel technology, Outotec as a technology supplier is expecting to gain a competitive edge over its competitors.
