2015-8-24 Extraction of gold using cyanide Gold is found in very low concentrations in the ore from which it is mined. To collect the gold from the ore it needs to be separated from the other minerals in the ore. To do this the gold needs to be made into a soluble form so that it can be separated from the other minerals as gold is insoluble.

Read More2020-6-17 Cyanidation is a method used in the extraction of gold from its ore. This extraction is done by converting the gold to a water-soluble form. 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 ...
Read More2018-9-5 At present, most cyanidation gold extraction plants use cyanide as gold extraction reagent. As is well known, cyanide is a kind of highly toxic hazardous chemical, so any mis-operation in transportation, storage, use and other links will cause the events of serious environmental pollution, malignant poisoning, etc.

Read MoreThe gold solution was prepared by mixing gold with a sodium cyanide solution to undergo a leaching process for 24 hours. The solution was then used for the adsorption experiment. The performance of the alkaline-based EFB-AC to separate gold from the cyanide leaching solution was further studied on the effect of contact time, pH and agitation rate.
