This study investigated the process of gold extraction from oxidized gold ore, leveraging the selective dissolution property of glycine for precious metals. Glycine, a non-toxic and simple amino acid, is of significant interest for its potential use in gold extraction. The study utilized glycine solutions at concentrations of 1-3 M, with reaction times ranging from 4 to 60 hours. Throughout the process, the pH was maintained at 11-12, the reactor temperature was set to 60 °C, the stirring speed was 350 rpm, and the air flow was 1 L/min. The average particle size of the oxidized ore was 70.7 μm. The results of the study indicated that the highest gold recovery rate of 81.41% was achieved after 48 hours in a 3 M glycine solution. Silver solubility was moderate at 44.50%, while iron exhibited low solubility at 7.71%. Furthermore, it was determined that extending the reaction time and increasing the glycine concentration promoted greater gold extraction from the oxidized ore.
