According to theoretical calculation, leaching 1 gram of gold only requires 0.5 grams of sodium cyanide. However, in most gold cyanidation plants, the consumption of cyanide is high, which is 50-100 times higher than the theoretical calculation.

Thiosulphate leaching is a process that removes gold from gold bearing ores without the use of cyanide. Although not as aggressive a leaching agent as cyanide, thiosulphate offers several technological advantages including its lower toxicity and greater efficiency with gold deposits associated with preg-robbing ores. The thiosulphate leaching process, followed by resin-in-pulp gold extraction, has been developed by SGS to the point where it is a technically and economically viable alternative to cyanidation for some gold

2019-4-12  Gold is a kind of inactive metal, which can cause complexation reaction with cyanogen (CN-) under the action of oxygen in the cyanide leaching process, and then results in Au (CN) 2-. Therefore, cyanide agent dosage is one of the key factors determining the gold dissolution. In general, the pulp should contain a certain amount of unbonded ...

2013-1-3  Most cyanide leaching is carried out at a alkaline pH of between 10 and 11, depending upon lab testing of individual ores and the optimum leaching/chemical use rates. The cyanide solution strength is also important in leaching gold, with the typical range of solution being in the 0.02% -0.05% NaCN. The gold particle size has a tremendous effect ...

2018-12-20  Under the 400 mesh condition, the gold leaching rate increased by 8%. If the tower grinding machine is used to implement the edge grinding and immersion process in gold mines, it will be a major innovation in the cyanide gold extraction process. The cyanide gold extraction process also suits for copper leaching, zinc leaching, sliver leaching

2019-11-15  Gold cyanide leaching process is the main method for extracting gold from ores or concentrates by using cyanide. But do you know the factors affecting gold cyanide leaching process? In the mineral processing tests for gold cyanide leaching, it usually selects variables to test, such as grinding fineness, cyanide dosage, pulp density, leaching time, inflating volume and the temperature, pH, and ...

2021-4-2  Cyanide leach mining is a type of gold mining that uses cyanide to extract gold from the surrounding rock. First, the rock that contains gold (the ore) is dug out of the ground, leaving behind a large open pit. Then, the ore is crushed into small pieces. The crushed ore is placed in large piles, called heaps, and sprayed with cyanide solution.
