According to this 0.166 parts by weight of zinc should be needed to replace 1 part of gold and 0.303 parts of zinc to replace 1 part of silver. Clennell, however, prefers the reaction. KAg (CN)2 + 2KCN + Zn + H20 = K2Zn (CN)4 + Ag + H + KOH, in accordance with which it would require 0.332 parts of zinc to 1 part of gold and 0.606 parts of zinc ...

Cyanide use in mining Gold typically occurs at very low concentrations in ores – less than 10 g/ton. The most used process for gold extraction is hydrometallurgical recovery (gold cyanidation), which involves a "leaching" step during which the gold is dissolved in an aqueous medium, followed by the

Abstract. Gold is an essential metal in the economy and technologies. Most of the gold is produced from mining and cyanidation is the primary method used for gold extraction, with Au (CN) 2- being the product. Activated carbon adsorption has been the primary commercial approach to recover gold from Au (CN) 2- solution since the 1970 s.

5.2 Because of the toxicity of cyanide, exercise great care in its handling. Acidification of cyanide solutions produces toxic, gaseous hydrogen cyanide (HCN). Perform all manipulations in the hood so that any HCN gas that is formed is safely vented. Wear hand and eye protection at all times when working with cyanide. 6.0 EQUIPMENT AND …

Cyanide recovery has been investigated through the concept of cleaner production. There would be a 20% increase in the recovery of cyanide by removing it as soon as the gold has dissolved and before carbon adsorption. The presence of a cyanide recovery circuit would enable leaching to be conducted at a pH of around 9 instead of …

A sonochemical reactor was developed to study the ultrasound-assisted cyanide extraction of gold from gold ore at low temperature. The effects of ultrasound on gold leaching in low temperature and conventional conditions were investigated. At the low temperature of 10 °C, ultrasound-assisted extraction increased extraction rate of gold …

The results showed that the content of gold varied from 142 to 700 g/ton. The cyanide-based solution was able to extract 88% of the gold, while sodium and ammonium thiosulfate extracted 70 and 75% of the gold, respectively. The electrowinning tests showed a 94% recovery of the gold present in thiosulfate solutions.

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.

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.
