The applied leaching system consisted of an acid solution of diluted sulfuric …
Acid leach of converter beads and electrowinning | Gold …
If anybody has any information that could help, like any knowledge of the electrowinning stage, testing, and experience with acid leaching, I would be very grateful. The patent was very sketchy on that part, and I'm more assuming that the dissolved metal ions are supposed to come out on the cathode and in the form of free metals.
