The term "cyanide" refers to a chemical compound containing one atom of carbon and one atom of nitrogen. The technical definition of cyanide is a triple-bonded molecule with a negative one charge, consisting of one atom of carbon in the +2 oxidation state and one atom of nitrogen in the −3 oxidation state (InfoMine, 2012).Cyanides most …Web

A sodium cyanide solution is commonly used to leach gold from ore. There are two types of leaching: 1. Heap leaching: In the open, cyanide solution is sprayed over huge heaps of crushed ore spread atop giant collection pads. The cyanide dissolves the gold from the ore into the solution as it trickles through the …

Abstract. Cyanide toxicity and their environmental impact are well known. Nevertheless, they are still used in the mining, galvanic and chemical industries. As a result of industrial activities, cyanides are released in various forms to all elements of the environment. In a natural environment, cyanide exists as cyanogenic glycosides in plants ...Web

The operating region of cyanide has the largest and lowest area because the gold-cyanide complex is the most stable among all alternative lixiviants. The leaching of sulfur-containing lixiviants such as thiosulfate, thiourea, thiocyanate, and polysulfides requires a higher potential than cyanide, which leads to their inevitable oxidative ...Web

Cyanide is one of the main substances used for gold extraction in a process called "Cyanide Leaching" (cyanidation). Starting in the 1970s, cyanide in a form of diluted sodium cyanide solution was used to dissolve and extract gold from ore. The process was first introduced by large-scale commercial mining, having the additional benefit that ...Web

1. Introduction. In the 19th century, cyanide leaching was proposed, and then it was widely used in gold processing due to its advantages of maturity, low-cost and high-leaching efficiency (Li et al., 2020).Around the world, about 90% of gold is recovered by this method (Acar, 2016; Tu et al., 2019), thereby resulting in the production of billions of tons …Web

Cyanidation is a hydrometallurgical leaching method where aqueous cyanide is used to dissolve and extract microscopic gold and other precious metals from lower-grade ores. As early as 1783, chemists knew that aqueous cyanide solution could dissolve gold. However, it took nearly 100 years for the technique to be refined and utilized at large-scale gold …Web
