Sodium cyanide is the most commonly used leaching chemical in gold extraction process. According to theoretical calculation, leaching 1 gram of gold only requires 0.5 grams of sodium cyanide. However, in most gold cyanidation plants, the consumption of cyanide is high, which is 50-100 times higher than the theoretical calculation.

The gold is mixed with the sodium cyanide which leads to the following Elsener's equation and reaction. This is done to make soluble gold; Now the gold is soluble. This method of making soluble gold is known as leaching. In the process of leaching, a dilute form of sodium cyanide is added into the ore containing the gold.

The cyanide heap leach process is an efficient, low cost method of recovering gold and silver from low-grade ore. Average ore grades recovered by heap leaching are 0.9 grams of gold per metric ton of ore (0.03 oz/short ton), with an extreme cutoff grade of 0.2 grams of gold per metric ton (0.006 oz/short ton) at the Round Mountain Mine in ...

Cyanide Leaching Chemistry & Gold Cyanidation. The reactions that take place during the dissolution of gold in cyanide solutions under normal conditions have been fairly definitely established. Most agree that the overall cyanide equation for leaching and cyanidation of gold is as follows: 4 Au + 8 NaCN + O2 + 2 H20 = 4 NaAu (CN)2 + 4 NaOH.

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 after its discoverer, is …

Bromide leaching with br-based liquid (Geobrom3400) as sodium cyanide substitutes resulted in a gold solution with a recovery rate of 94 — 96% and gold content of 50mg/L. However, the development level of bromination gold extraction technology is still very limited, and the technology is not mature enough to be sodium cyanide substitute.

Gold cyanidation (also known as the cyanide process or the MacArthur-Forrest process) is a hydrometallurgical technique for extracting gold from low-grade ore by converting the gold to a water-soluble coordination complex.It is the most commonly used leaching process for gold extraction.. Production of reagents for mineral processing to recover gold, copper, zinc and silver represents ...

There have been several methods developed by miners to extract gold particles from ore over the last hundred or so years. Of those methods, the 'Cyanide Leaching Process' (Cyanidation), is the method that is commonly used the most often to do this. As the name implies, the main component in the process is a sodium […]

Therefore, in the gold leaching process, it is often necessary to analyze and control the free cyanide and the oxygen content in the solution to keep the ratio of the two at about 6. 4. Establish the Dosage Balance of Cyanide. Sodium cyanide is the main consumption agent of gold cyanidation process.
