Tech/Engineering - Metallurgy / Casting / cyanidation of gold and silver
English term or phrase: in the true sense
¿Cuál es el sentido de esta frase en el párrafo? si alguien me puede ayudar, por favor.

Since it is a noble metal, there are few solvents in which gold will dissolve, in the true sense. Those systems where it will go into solution usually contain both an oxidant and a reactant capable of forming a thermodynamically-favourable complex with the gold. In the case of the cyanidation process, the oxidant is oxygen and the complexing agent is cyanide, forming the aurocyanide ion, Au(CN) .

en el sentido estricto


Explanation:
... en el sentido estricto (de la palabra).

Ya que no entra en solución verdadera sino que forma un complejo con el cianuro el que sí es soluble.
