The paper considers the most effective leaching solution for extracting gold; it was decided to test different reagents using the IW method from spent uranium gold wells. And also Scientific experiments were carried out to extract gold from a productive solution in laboratory conditions, the sorption process was carried out on various grades of activated carbon to determine a promising sample. In order to saturate the sorbent with a solution from a productive solution, studies were carried out with the following types of activated carbons: AG 3, AG 5, AG-95. The sorption process was carried out with a productive solution supplied from the bottom up and consisting of a pressure column, with a dense layer of activated carbon 3 kg.
