cyanide in gold extraction Phactorize
The cyanide leaching of tellurides has a history of controversy, with some researchers maintaining that successful gold extraction could be achieved provided that certain conditions were met. Operationally, plant leaching proved to be not as successful as in the laboratory and certainly was not as robust as the leaching of free gold.

Recovery of cyanide in the extraction of gold -
Sodium cyanide is used in the extraction of gold from its ores. It, and many of its derivatives, are acutely toxic to humans and aquatic life. The awareness of environmental impacts has been heightened in the last decade, the effects of which are appearing in greater restrictions on discharges and emissions.

Process of Cyanide Gold Extraction
2014-2-11 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.

THE MANAGEMENT OF CYANIDE IN GOLD
A solution of cyanide is trickled through these heaps to dissolve the gold.When heap-leaching technology is used to extract gold, the barren solution is collectedin a pond, from which it is commonly recharged with cyanide and recycled back into theleaching system.The modern gold industry uses cyanide almost exclusively as the leaching agent for gold.Other complexing agents such as thiourea, chlorides and other halides have been usedto extract gold

Extraction of Gold
The extraction of gold by the cyanide-method is of great technical importance. It is effected by lixiviation with a solution of potassium cyanide, the gold being precipitated either by addition of zinc or electrolytically.
