Gold cyanidation (also known as the cyanide process or the MacArthur-Forrest process) is a hydrometallurgical technique for extracting gold from low-grade ore by converting the gold to a water-soluble coordination complex.It is the most commonly used leaching process for gold extraction.. Production of reagents for mineral processing to recover gold, copper, zinc and silver represents
Get Price5/11/2015· As molar ratio of 4:1 cyanide:copper is required to maintain acceptable gold cyanidation rates, this is typically taken into consideration during the ore-testing phase. However, significantly higher cyanide consumption can occur in practice than is expected on the prima facie cyanide-soluble copper content, due to the recycling of copper with tailings dam return water.

15/06/2021· Cyanide tailings are industrial hazardous solid wastes arising from gold mining industry. Hundreds of millions of tons of cyanide tailings that contain highly toxic cyanides and various valuable elements, such as gold, silver, iron, sulfur, copper, lead, and zinc are generated and discharged to tailing dams every year.

Today, cyanidation is the most used technique in the world for the processing of gold, but due to cyanide's highly toxic nature the process is very controversial (UNEP/OCHA Environment Unit, March 2000). The two methods of cyanidation used are Vat Leaching and Heap Leaching. Vat

Cyanide's efficiency makes mining more wasteful. Because cyanide leaching is very efficient, it allows profitable mining of much lower ore grades. Mining lower grade ore requires the extraction and processing of much more ore to get the same amount of gold. Partially due to cyanide, modern mines are. much larger than before cyanide was used;
