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.

Thiosulphate is an attractive alternative reagent to cyanide for processing gold ores. It is relatively cheap and non-toxic, forms relatively strong gold and silver complexes, and readily leaches gold ores in ammoniacal solutions, catalysed by Cu(II). It is particularly suited to carbonaceous ores where the recovery of gold by cyanide is poor.

The cyanide reagent used in gold processing significantly exceeds the stoichiometric gold content in the ore/concentrate being treated. This is because most of the added cyanide is either consumed by unwanted side-reactions ( Bakatula and Tutu, 2016 ) and/or rendered ineffective due to the pH-dependent HCN/CN − speciation of …
