Gold Recovery Chemistry
Selective non-cyanide gold chemistry for industrial recovery operators.
PolyGO supplies a complete gold-recovery chemistry stack. Our stripping products recover gold in solid form directly from solid waste — no precipitation step needed. Our non-cyanide leaching products dissolve gold from complex feedstocks for downstream precipitation. Both routes are engineered to leave base-metal substrates intact so refining is cleaner and cheaper.
Products in this family
- Stripping — Gold (solid-form recovery)
Selectively strips gold layers from base-metal substrates and recovers the gold directly in solid form — no precipitation process required.
- Non-Cyanide Gold Leaching
Dissolves gold from complex feedstocks into solution for downstream precipitation. Non-cyanide formulation — easier permitting and effluent handling.
Why operators choose it
- Stripping route recovers gold in solid form — skip precipitation
- Non-cyanide leaching for complex feedstocks
- Selective on precious metal, gentle on base-metal substrate
- Built-in safety features in the recovery system design
- Feasibility-first — we characterise your feedstock before we quote
- Tunable concentration for your feedstock profile
Frequently asked
Is PolyGO's gold chemistry cyanide-based?
No. Both our stripping and leaching products are non-cyanide formulations engineered to give comparable yield without the regulatory and effluent burden of cyanide.
What's the difference between your stripping and leaching products?
Stripping products recover gold in solid form directly from solid waste — no precipitation needed. Leaching products dissolve gold into solution, which is then followed by a precipitation step to recover the metal. Different routes for different feedstocks.
Do you sell the chemistry, or process the feedstock for us?
PolyGO is a chemistry and systems vendor. We supply the chemistry, the PolyGOResin™ cartridges and the SOPs — your operation runs the line.
