Abstract

A process that does not depend on water as a medium for reaction is beneficial in water strapped regions such as South Africa. This thesis describes such a process. Gas phase extraction involves a volatile organic reagent that reacts with a metal of interest. In the process under investigation a volatile organic ligand reacts with solid native gold transforming it in a gas phase.
