Jun 17, 2020 The cyanidation process of gold extraction or the use of cyanide is the most common leaching process, used in the extraction of gold from its ores. Some countries do not approve of this method of gold extraction because of the poisonous nature of the cyanide. Steps to extract gold by cyanidation process:
Read MoreCyanide Leach Process - pH Mining: Gold Processing While there are many different processes to remove gold from its encapsulating ore, cyanide leaching (cyanidation) is perhaps the most common and well known. A cyanide solution (NaCN or KCN) is elevated to a high pH level (>10.5pH) so that free cyanide (CN-) will dissolve the gold in the ore.

The only requirements are that the gold be free and clean, that the cyanide solution contain no impurities that might inhibit the reaction, and that an adequate supply of oxygen be present in the solution throughout the reaction period.

Currently, cyanide is the predominant lixiviant used to extract gold due to its strong complexation with gold and the technical simplicity of the leaching process (Avraamides, 1982, Habashi, 1987, Marsden and House, 2006).However, the use of cyanide can bring challenges in terms of environmental, health and safety aspects (Aylmore, 2005, Laitos, 2012).
