The leaching of gold, silver and their alloys in alkaline
In alkaline glycinehydrogen peroxide solutions, it has been found that gold leach rate from goldsilver (50% Ag) alloy is about 6 times higher than rate from pure gold and the silver leach rate was mol/m2 s. An induction period of 48 h was noted for rolled precious metal foils, after which leaching rapidly accelerated.
