The gold cyanide in the pregnant solution is adsorbed on granular activated carbon inside the carbon in pulp (CIP) tanks. The coarse laden carbon particles are screened out of the last tank, washed with caustic to remove the gold cyanide, and the gold metal is produced using a process called electrowinning.

 — The cyanide leaching process is the most important method ever developed for extracting gold from its ores. ... Cyanide is the general descriptive term applied usually to sodium cyanide, NaCN. However, the early work in cyanidation was based on the use of potassium cyanide and strengths of solution as well as basic formulae are still in terms ...

Since most ores only contain 0.001% gold or silver (by mass), back in 1887 a clever human in Scotland discovered that using dilute amounts of cyanide (in the form of sodium cyanide) can aid in the ...

 — Cyanide is a lixiviant, or reagent that is used to leach, often in tanks, gold from a solid matrix and form a gold cyanide complex. The gold cyanide complex ... During the CIP stage, pulp flows through several agitated tanks where sodium cyanide and oxygen have been added to dissolve gold into solution. ... The traditional process for gold ...

 — The cyanidation process is affected by a number of influential parameters, such as the availability of oxygen at the solid–liquid interface, the pH and Eh of the solid–solvent suspension, the presence of ions other than CN − in solution, the cyanide concentration, the particle size of the mineral, the temperature, the surface area of gold …

 — Most of the gold in the roasting slag is recovered by thiourea/cyanide leaching process, however, the leaching residues (gold tailings) obtained from thiourea leaching process or the sodium cyanide leaching still contain 9–16 g/t gold, which is difficult to recover and is usually discarded with the leaching residues; This phenomenon is …

 — Today, sodium cyanide is increasingly being used to process gold-bearing ore – a trend seen around the world in what has been described as a 'cyanide revolution'. 1 However, criminality and corruption in Kenya's gold sector have left authorities struggling to regulate this potentially lethal chemical and contain its environmental impacts. 2

 — Globally, copper, silver, and gold orebody grades have been dropping, and the mineralogy surrounding them has become more diversified and complex. The cyanidation process for gold production …

 — The removal of silver from its ores also uses the sodium cyanide process, just like gold. Gold Leaching. Leaching is used in situations where gold cannot be concentrated for smelting. The most common process used in the cyanide process. However, a type of leaching known as thiosulfate leaching is the best on gold ores with …

 — A metallurgist points out that the principal factors in cyanide consumption and the extraction of gold from the Homestake ore include cyanide concentration, oxygen content of the pulp, hydrogen-ion …

 — The present study identified new directions in processing complex gold-copper ores including the use of lixiviant mixtures (e.g., cyanide-glycine), pre-treatment with environmentally friendly reagents (e.g., glycine or sodium citrate), and the integrated membrane-based process (SuCy process) for cyanide and copper recovery processes.

 — The recovery of gold by adsorption using activated carbon from sodium cyanide and thiourea leached solutions are reported in this study. The leached solutions were obtained under real operating conditions from the beneficiation plant "Paz Borja", Machala-Ecuador. Calgon Carbon DG-11 6X12 type, widely used in the local …

 — The cyanide content of gold tailings exceeds the standard seriously due to the cyanide extraction process. In order to improve the resource utilization efficiency of gold tailings, a medium ...

 — Microorganisms can be applied at different stages of the gold recovery process. During the leaching stage, they play a key role by producing lixiviants (thiosulfate, cyanide and iodine) that dissolve gold (Amachi, 2008; Kaksonen et al., 2014; Reith et al., 2007). A case in point is cyanide-producing bacteria.
