Electrowinning and Smelting-Resource Book-Stelios Site for
Electrowinning and smelting are the final stages of gold production. The concentrated gold solutions produced in the elution circuit (pregnant eluate and by the Sunrise Reactor, are passed through the electrowinning cells which converts the gold ions (charged gold particles) in the solution into solid gold. The process of electrowinning simply
