The only smell present during the leach time is ammonia. PH has every thing to do with using thiosulfate. If you let your leach run too long,and let the PH drop too much during run time,it will then pull in some iron. Run time,PH,and temperature are the keys to using thiosulfate. P.S. All of my observations are with sodium thiosulfate.
