Abstract
L'invention concerne des procédés permettant de récupérer des métaux précieux à partir de matériaux réfractaires au moyen de lixiviants au thiosulfate. Dans ces procédés, on peut utiliser une lixiviation en tas ou des lixiviants renfermant au moins un agent masquant. Les processus peuvent mettre en contact une solution de lixiviation mère et/ou une solution dérivée de celle-ci avec un réactif de sulfure pour former des précipités de sulfure métalliques et du soufre élémentaire. Les processus peuvent en outre convertir au moins une grande partie du soufre élémentaire en thiosulfate en mettant en contact le soufre élémentaire avec un réactif de sulfure.
