- Gold Mining Use Cyanide
Cyanide in industrial gold mining2.1. History. Until the end of the nineteenth century, mercury amalgamation was the most widely used processing method in industrial gold mining. In 1887, a team of chemists and physicians from Glasgow developed what became known as the Macarthur-Forrest cyanidation process.

1. Introduction. For over a century, cyanide has featured prominently at gold mines throughout the world as a gold lixiviant mainly due to its low costs and high gold recoveries from various ores (Aylmore, 2016a, Aylmore, 2016b, Li et al., 2021).Cyanide, however, is a highly toxic reagent that causes potential environmental hazards resulting …

1. Introduction. Traditionally, mercury amalgamation has been employed for gold recovery in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) throughout the world (Veiga et al., 2006; WHO, 2016).This method is inexpensive but inefficient in terms of gold recovery (Veiga et al., 2006).Consequently, a substantial amount of gold remains in …

Inasmuch as gold-silver alloys of this composition are almost as soluble in cyanide as gold is, it is probable that some other factor has affected the solubility of the electrum particles. Possibly some other alloying element has influenced their solubility in cyanide. The only compounds of gold found in nature are the gold-silver tellurides.
