1. Introduction. Cyanidation has been the predominant leaching method for gold ores since 100 years ago [1].Despite the success of cyanidation, its applicability is limited by some gold mineralization [2].This method's main limitation is in dealing with refractory gold ores in which sulphide minerals surround gold particles [3].The major …

Cyanide's efficiency makes mining more wasteful. Because cyanide leaching is very efficient, it allows profitable mining of much lower ore grades. Mining lower grade ore requires the extraction and processing of much more ore to get the same amount of gold. Partially due to cyanide, modern mines are. much larger than before cyanide was used;

The miners prefer cyanidation using the Merrill-Crowe process but the adaptability of miners to CIP process can certainly modify the distribution of mercury discharged to the environment. The miners are plagued with misperceptions that either all mercury is recovered in the cyanidation tanks or stays in an "inert" metallic form with the ...

The cyanide process, which is also known as the Macarthur-forest process, is widely used in extracting gold or silver from the ores by dissolving them in a dilute solution of potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide. This process was introduced in the year 1887 by Scottish chemists named Robert W. Forrest, John S. MacArthur and William Forrest. This …

To avoid hydrolysis of cyanide (Eq. (2)), leaching must be carried out under basic conditions: (2) CN − +H 2 O⇒HCN+OH − However, in saline water, such as in many cyanidation plants in Western Australia, gold-leaching is performed at a pH below 10 to reduce the high cost of lime under these buffering conditions. Hydrocyanic acid (HCN) is …
