Cyanide hazards to plants and animals from gold mining and related water issues. Cyanide extraction of gold through milling of high-grade ores and heap leaching of low-grade ores requires cycling of millions of liters of alkaline water containing high concentrations of potentially toxic sodium cyanide (NaCN), free cyanide, and metal-cyanide ...

How is cyanide used in mining? A sodium cyanide solution is commonly used to leach gold from ore. There are two types of leaching: Heap leaching: In the open, cyanide solution is sprayed over huge heaps of crushed ore spread atop giant collection pads. The cyanide dissolves the gold from the ore into the solution as it trickles through the heap. The pad collects the now metal-impregnated solution which is stripped of gold

Cyanide is used in mining to extract gold (and silver) from ores, particularly in low-grade ores or ores that can not be readily treated through simple physical processes such as gravity. While cyanide-bearing solutions are used in mining because they react with gold, they also react with other metals such as Cu, Zn, Co and Hg. These reactions form weak cyanide complexes, often referred to as 'weak acid

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 reagentsfor mineral processing to recover gold, copper, zinc and silver represents approximately 13% of cyanide consumption globally, with the remaining 87% of cyanide used in other i

Cyanide 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 chemical reaction is as follows: 4Au + 8NaCN ...

One step added in the gold cyanidation process is addition of soda (sodium hydroxide) or slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) to the slurry. This is to ensure the pH of the overall extracting solution never drops below 10.5, to prevent the creation of hydrogen cyanide (HCN). HCN is much more deadly than NaCN - as little as 100 -300 ppm of HCN in the air is enough to kill a human in 10-60 minutes
