Recovery of cyanide in the extraction of gold
Cyanide recovery has been investigated through the concept of cleaner production. There would be a 20% increase in the recovery of cyanide by removing it as soon as the gold has dissolved and before carbon adsorption. The presence of a cyanide recovery circuit would enable leaching to be conducted at a pH of around 9 instead of …

Cyanide hazards to plants and animals from gold mining …
Abstract. Cyanide extraction of gold through milling of high-grade ores and heap leaching of low-grade ores requires cycling of millions of liters of alkaline water containing high concentrations of potentially toxic sodium cyanide (NaCN), free cyanide, and metal-cyanide complexes. Some milling operations result in tailings ponds of 150 ha and ...
Process of Cyanide Gold Extraction
Here I present an Process EXAMPLE of Gold Extraction Cyanide in which the cyanidation feed consists of a pyrite concentrate floated after the selective flotation of a copper-gold concentrate. The pyrite concentrate is reground to 90% minus 325 mesh and aerated in a high-lime solution prior to cyanidation. It contains 99% sulphides of which 10 to […]
