Turning Cyanide into Gold: Sodium Cyanide Applications in Mining

The process of using cyanide chemicals to extract gold from ore using an aqueous substance is known as "leeching." First, the ore is crushed into a fine powder using industrial machinery. Then, the dust is added to a carefully-monitored solution of sodium cyanide (NaCN) and allowed to process.

Gold processing

Gold is then leached from the carbon particles by a strong solution of sodium cyanide and sodium hydroxide, and it is recovered from solution by electrowinning directly onto steel wool or by the Merrill-Crowe process. In the latter process, the gold-bearing solution is deoxygenated and passed through a filter-press, where the gold is displaced ...
