Elsner's equation is generally accepted as expressing the action of gold in dilute cyanide solutions; 4 Au + 8 KCN + O2 + 2 H2O = 4 KAu (CN)2+ 4 KOH. Thus, when fresh surfaces of gold are exposed to the action of cyanide in an aqueous solution containing free oxygen, a gold cyanide compound will be formed and a hydroxide …

What is cyanide and why do we need cyanide-free gold leaching process? Cyanide (CN –) has been used since 1889 to recover gold from hard rock. As sodium cyanide (NaCN), it reacts with gold, oxygen (O), and water (H 2 O) to form a gold cyanide complex (Na [Au(CN) 2] ) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The chemical reaction dubbed …

The particulate structure of OMC allows simple separation from the used-up solutions. Addition of ammonia to the gold-cyanide solution, additionally boosts sorption capacity of OMC. The developed material can be used in gold mining industry as a sorbent, which can potentially increase the efficiency of the gold extraction process.

A relatively simple rate equation for the kinetics of the absorption of gold from cyanide solutions onto activated carbon was used as the basis in the development of a model for multistage carbon-in-pulp and carbon-in-leach absorption circuits. The model was used in the prediction of both the steady-state and the transient behaviour of the ...

The preceding findings indicate that cyanide can pro- mote the elution of gold by three different mechanisms: (1) reaction with the adsorbed gold cyanide species, (2) competitive adsorption (which is regarded here as being similar to ion exchange), and (3) reaction with the car- bon functional groups.

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 …

The equilibrium gold loading capacity in cyanide-starved glycine solutions containing 2 ppm Au and 300 ppm Cu, at pH 11 was found to be 9.95 kg Au /ton carbon in 24 h, which is almost four times higher than the gold loading capacity in a pure cyanide system (2.7 kg Au /ton carbon) under similar conditions. The study revealed …

Due to the strong affinity of these resins for gold-cyanide anions, elution of the loaded precious metals is more difficult and a sulfuric acid/ thiourea mixture is most commonly used. During elution, the gold-cyanide complex is broken and a more stable gold-thiourea complex is formed, as shown below. The resin has no affinity for the neutral ...
