Alternative Lixiviants to Cyanide for Leaching Gold Ores

A process modeling study has been carried out to generate an estimate of the capital and operating costs associated with a bromine-leaching process using Albemarle Corporation's stabilized bromine technology and comparing the costs to that for a cyanide circuit processing the same ore (43.6 Au, 10.5 Ag 0.23% Cu, 1.35% As, 0.4% S) (Dry et …

Cyanide Leaching Chemistry & Gold Cyanidation

Most agree that the overall cyanide equation for leaching and cyanidation of gold is as follows: 4 Au + 8 NaCN + O2 + 2 H20 = 4 NaAu (CN)2 + 4 NaOH. Cyanide Leaching Chemistry. In a relatively simple system of this type the gold dissolves readily. The only requirements are that the gold be free and clean, that the cyanide solution …

Thiosulphate as an alternative to cyanide for gold processing – issues

Thiosulphate is an attractive alternative reagent to cyanide for processing gold ores. It is relatively cheap and non-toxic, forms relatively strong gold and silver complexes, and readily leaches gold ores in ammoniacal solutions, catalysed by Cu(II). It is particularly suited to carbonaceous ores where the recovery of gold by cyanide is poor.

Cyanide Use in Gold Mining

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;
