Deposition of gold (III) from hydrochloric acid solutions on carbon nanotubes under hydrothermal conditions
Roman Borisov
Abstract
The paper deals with the recovery of gold (III) from hydrochloric acid solutions on carbon based nanotube material at elevated temperatures under autoclave conditions. It is established that the quantitative recovery of gold (III) from hydrochloric acid solution upon its contact with carbon material occurs at a temperature of 170° C for 240 minutes. The morphological features of metallic gold particles are studies by scanning electron microscopy.
