The gold dissolution in anoxic cyanide solution in the presence of chalcopyrite was studied with a rotating disc electrode. It was found that the presence of chalcopyrite reduced and enhanced the dissolution activity of pure gold in the low and high potential regions, respectively. The dissolution of gold was diffusion-controlled at low …
Cyanide leaching was first applied to extract gold from pyritic ore, which prior to the discovery of gold cyanidation could not be extracted. This led to heavy investment in mining in the 1890s and the opening of larger gold mines. Leaching gold with cyanide is still a widely used hydrometallurgical process in today's mining industry.
Modelling and optimization of cyanide leaching of gold from the Pouya Zarkan Aghdareh gold mine were performed using RSM based on CCD. The quadratic mathematical model for the recovery of gold was established using sets of experimental data and ANOVA. The influential factors investigated in the cyanide leaching process of gold …
This paper reviews the basic chemistry of cyanide, methods by which cyanide can be analyzed, and aspects of cyanide behavior that are most relevant to environmental considerations at mineral processing operations associated with gold mines. The emphasis is on research results reported since 1999 and on data gathered for a …
While many leaching processes typically use acid or alkali solutions at high temperatures and pressures, the cyanidation process allows for gold leaching to occur at or near ambient temperature and pressure. This is possible by the formation of soluble gold-cyanide complexes (Figure 1), which is defined by the Elsner Equation.

Researchers from Curtin University have delivered a technology that will significantly enhance the leaching rates for gold ore without using cyanide. Currently, the industry is needing higher ...
Silver minerals are known to have slow leaching rates and low overall extraction and require a high concentration of cyanide and a long retention time to maximize leach extraction. Their response to cyanidation is considered mild to moderately refractory, largely due to complex mineralogical compositions. New research on improving the …
Cyanide leaching has been the industry standard for gold processing for more than 100 years. During the cyanide leach process, a cyanide solution, or lixiviant, is percolated through ore contained in vats, columns or heaps. Gold is dissolved by the cyanide and then removed from the heap or columns. It is then extracted from the pregnant leach ...
Carbonaceous matter obtained by acid demineralization of Goldstrike ore was leached using either an ammoniacal thiosulfate system or a sodium cyanide system. Leaching of the carbonaceous matter was conducted in batch experiments, as well as in columns at various flow rates to compare the mass of gold leached from the carbonaceous matter to its ...
The best direct replacement for cyanide in gold leaching is the chemical compound thiosulphate (S2O2–3). Thiosulphate leaching has been steadily increasing in popularity, and luckily, it is a ...
