  • Patent number: 11434543
    Abstract: A method for extracting and enriching gold with a selenide includes: mixing an isocyanate and a selenium-containing compound of a formula of HO—R—Se—R—OH in a solvent to obtain a mixture system, where R is selected from linear or branched C2 to C11 alkylene groups; adding a tin-based catalyst into the mixture system to activate a reaction, drying the mixture system after the reaction, and obtaining a powdery selenium-containing polymer by grinding; immersing the selenium-containing polymer in an aqueous solution containing gold ions to allow gold to be extracted from the aqueous solution; and removing the selenium-containing polymer attached to a surface of extracted gold, thereby obtaining an extracted and enriched gold.
    Type: Grant
