Gold Extraction Process Sod ium cyanide has been used in the extraction of gold from ore for over a century Today it is still considered the most efficient extraction method with sodium cyanide used in the leaching process in most gold mining operations Orica is one of the largest producers of sodium cyanide for the mining industryFeb 08 32 As a result over 85 of all gold extracted worldwide is produced by hydrometallurgical extraction with the use of cyanide The gold mining sector uses approximately 66 000 tons of sodium cyanide

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 complexIt is the most commonly used leaching process for gold extraction Production of reagents for mineral processing to recover gold copper zinc and silver represents Leaching dissolves the gold out of the ore using a chemical solvent The most common solvent is cyanide which must be combined with oxygen in a process known as carbon in pulp As the cyanide and oxygen react chemically gold in the pulp dissolv When workers introduce small carbon grains to the tank the gold adheres to the carbon

Sep 18 32 The hydrometallurgical extraction of gold from ores concentrates and tailings in a cost effective and environmentally safe manner offers an interesting challenge Conventional gold mining operations rely heavily on cyanide leaching as the predom of gold extraction for SSM Methods Borax was added to milled ore to reduce the melting point of gold to a level accessible to SSM The amount of gold captured and the amount of mercury released into the environment was compared to two common amalgamation

Oct 20 32 Leaching gold with a cyanide solution remains the most widely used hydrometallurgical process for the extraction of gold from ores and concentrat Despite the difficulties and hazards of working with cyanide no other process has yet been proven to be an economic viable alternativeCyanide is manufactured and distributed for use in the gold and silver mining industries in a variety of physical and chemical forms including solid briquettes flake cyanide and liquid cyanide Sodium cyanide is supplied as either briquettes or liquid while calcium cyanide is supplied in

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 columnsCyanide s efficiency makes mining more wasteful Because cyanide leaching is very efficient it allows profitable mining of much lower ore grad Mining lower grade ore requires the extraction and processing of much more ore to get the same amount of gold Partially due to cyanide modern mines are much larger than before cyanide was used

Given this difficulty there are two main ways to get gold through mining gold from the earth which requires massive amounts of sodium cyanide and recycling gold from secondary sources like • Activated carbon is used to adsorb the gold out of solution Because the cyanide ion forms very strong complexes with gold it is the gold cyanide complex that is loaded onto the carbon rather than being deposited as metallic gold • Gold loaded onto the carbon is then stripped using either

Cyanide is destroyed by sodium thiosulfate or sodium nitrite An average fatal dose of HCN is about 50 60 milligrams Cyanide dissolves both gold and silver from alkaline solution Cyanide is a very “clean” extraction system as it does not extract many of the base metals such as ironFeb 08 32 As a result over 85 of all gold extracted worldwide is produced by hydrometallurgical extraction with the use of cyanide The gold mining sector uses approximately 66 000 tons of sodium cyanide

In many countries elemental mercury is used in artisanal and small scale gold mining Mercury is mixed with gold containing materials forming a mercury gold amalgam which is then heated vaporizing the mercury to obtain the gold This process can be very dangerous and lead to significant mercury The iodine iodide gold leaching is well known as an effective and environmental friendly method for gold leaching without toxic chemicals such as cyanide aqua regia and mercury 3 5 According
