The recovery of gold using zinc typically occurs in a cyanide leaching process. In this process, the optimum pH for the recovery of gold using zinc is usually around 10.5 to 11.5. This pH range is conducive to the formation of zinc-gold complexes and promotes efficient gold precipitation on the surface of the zinc particles. Therefore, maintaining the appropriate pH level is crucial for the successful recovery of gold using zinc in a cyanide leaching process.
