Overview of the Challenges and Opportunities in Processing Complex Gold
The key aspects which make cyanide widely used in the mining industry for gold extraction include low cost, process simplicity, adaptability, low redox potential, and chemical stability [7,8,9]. However, the major reported limitations of cyanide in gold leaching include high toxicity and its inefficiency for gold recovery from complex and ...

Cyanide and removal options from effluents in gold mining …
At an optimal gold extraction pH of 10.5 or greater, most of the free cyanide in the solution is in the form of the cyanide anion (CN −), where cyanide loss by volatilization is limited. Otherwise, the cyanidation process would neither be practical and safe nor economically and environmentally feasible.

Cyanide-free gold recovery
A commerative gold ingot from the first gold pour using our cyanide-free recovery method. The infrastructure for a processing plant that uses cyanidation typically costs $30 million, and is therefore, a barrier to entry for gold miners with smaller deposits that do not fit into the large-scale economies of gold production.

LITERATURE REVIEW AND THERMODYNAMIC MODELING OF GOLD CYANIDATION PROCESS
In this paper, the aim is to review the recent advances and challenges in thermodynamic modeling of the gold cyanidation process. 1.2 Background The cyanidation process was invented in 1887. It is a method of extracting gold using cyanide, by converting the gold to a water soluble coordination complex.

Recovery of Gold from Solutions | SpringerLink
Abstract. Cyanidation has been used to extract gold (and silver) from ores, concentrates, and calcines since the 1890s. The precipitation of gold from cyanide solutions by zinc cementation was patented in 1884 and was applied industrially as early as the cyanidation process. Download to read the full chapter text.
