Liberation: Cyanide leaching will only be effective if the cyanide can come in contact with the gold particle. For this to happen, the ore should either be sufficiently porous for cyanide to reach the gold, or more usually the ore is crushed and ground to a size at which the surface of the gold is exposed – i.e. the gold is liberated.
Furthermore, ammonia leaching as a pretreatment process ahead of cyanide leaching was also examined. Only ~12% of gold was extracted by direct cyanide leaching of the ore. The addition of lead nitrate did not affect the leaching of gold. When ammoniacal cyanide leaching system was used, the extraction of gold was significantly improved to >90%.
The cyanide leaching process, introduced to the gold-mining industry about . 120 years ago, was at the forefront of the technological revolution in the industry that saw global gold output rise tenfold in the first half of the 20th century. The cyanidation process, which was cheap and very efficient, allowed ever

Cyanide leaching of gold is carried out in very large mechanically stirred tank reactors. The reactor size can be up to 5000 m. A typical agitator configuration is two downwardpumping hydrofoil impellers, which requires a low mixing power input and results in low shear rates inside the reactor. This results in an economically efficient process with low levels of carbon attrition, …
Cyanide and Alternative Gold Leaching Reagents. The most commonly used cyanide salts are KCN and NaCN, which are easily soluble in water. Cyanide leaching is the dominating process for gold recovery from primary resources, due to its simplicity and high cost efficiency. Cyanide dissolves gold by forming a soluble dicyanoaurat complex (Eq. 1 ...

This study assesses cyanide and cyanidation wastes management practices among small, medium and large-scale gold leaching plants in Siaya County, Kenya. The socio-economic benefits of gold extraction through cyanidation of mercury-contaminated tailings notwithstanding, the study establishes inadequate cyanide and cyanidation wastes …
consumption and inventory of cyanide in the leach circuit. The strategy of using a very low level of free cyanide may result in selective leaching of gold from some ores. However, if free cyanide is low enough or non-existent, the Cu(CN)2-complex or insoluble CuCN may form, and gold may not leach at all.
Cyanide leaching technology was studied for low-grade oxidized gold ores in Guangxi Province. The gold grade of the raw ores was 1.32 g/t. The gold leaching rate was 90.91% under the optimal conditions for the following conventional leaching process: using steel forging as the grinding medium, a grinding fineness of −0.074 mm accounting for 92.53%, a …
Leaching by cyanide has always been a dominant position in gold hydrometallurgy (Hilson and Monhemius, 2006). However, cyanidation is undesirable due to severe …
2.1 Cyanide leaching. Cyanide is a cheap but highly toxic reagent that is very effective in leaching gold from low-grade minerals and mining wastes. Therefore, cyanidation is the most widely used method for the extraction of gold from mining wastes. Despite its advantages, is considered an unacceptable and highly hazardous approach.
One of the main unit operations in metallurgical processing plant designs is gold leaching. The traditional cyanidation process was chosen and is currently in widespread use. However, the mining ...
Cyanide is a lixiviant, or reagent that is used to leach, often in tanks, gold from a solid matrix and form a gold cyanide complex. The gold cyanide complex is then extracted from the pulp or slurry by adsorption onto activated …

The traditional process for gold recovery from cyanide leach liquors has been the countercurrent decantation process. Following leaching, countercurrent decantation takes place in a series of thickeners in which the leach pulp is washed by the countercurrent flow of barren solution. The classified pregnant solution is treated for gold recovery ...

More than 83 per cent of the world's gold is extracted via cyanidation because of its convenient operation, low cost, and high leaching rate. However, cyanide has a high biological toxicity and poor leaching performance in refractory gold ores (containing copper and carbon) (Nunan et al., 2017, Nwaila et al., 2019).Hence, extensive studies have been conducted on …

What is cyanide and why do we need cyanide-free gold leaching process? Cyanide (CN –) has been used since 1889 to recover gold from hard rock. As sodium cyanide (NaCN), it reacts with gold, oxygen (O), and water (H 2 O) to form a gold cyanide complex (Na [Au(CN) 2] ) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The chemical reaction dubbed the "Elsner Equation", named …

• Thiosulphate leaching yields similar gold recovery as cyanide in some cases, while in cases such as preg-robbing ores (naturally occurring carbonaceous material that preferentially absorbs the gold cyanide complex but not the gold thiosulphate complex), it can yield substantially better recovery than cyanide. • The thiosulphate leaching ...
Currently, cyanide is the predominant lixiviant used to extract gold due to its strong complexation with gold and the technical simplicity of the leaching process (Avraamides, 1982, Habashi, 1987, Marsden and House, 2006).However, the use of cyanide can bring challenges in terms of environmental, health and safety aspects (Aylmore, 2005, Laitos, 2012).
