More2021-11-10 Cyanide Process. Cyanide process is also called as Macarthur-forest Process. It is the process of extracting gold or silver from the ores by dissolving in a dilute solution of potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide. This process was introduced in the year 1887 by the Scottish chemists naming Robert W. Forrest, John S. MacArthur, and William Forrest.

MoreAbstract. Alchemists—driven by greed and curiosity—did not manage to produce gold from cheap materials, but they certainly initiated and advanced chemical knowledge. The discovery of aqua regia by the Arab alchemist Jabir Ibn Hayyan in the sixth century introduced a chemical technology for the extraction of gold from its ores.

In the past 25 years, most of the development in the cyanidation of gold has occurred in response to the decreasing grade of deposits, the shift from surface mining to underground mining, the increasing complexity of treatment, and the concern for environmental constraints.Research has focused on the use of new equipment such as the IsaMill to liberate gold finely disseminated ...

More2013-9-24 Gold typically occurs at very low concentrations in ores – less than 10 g/ton. The most used process for gold extraction is hydrometallurgical recovery (gold cyanidation), which involves a “leaching” step during which the gold is dissolved in an aqueous medium, followed by the separation of the gold bearing solution from the residues.

MoreAt present, gold mines are increasingly scarce in the world. The yield of cyanidation tailing (CT) of refractory gold ores with a grade of 10 g/T is huge; however, the effective capitalization of the cyanidation tailing is a significant problem in the gold industry. In this work, a new treatment method, a microwave-roasting process developed.

The oxidant e ployed is atmospheric oxygen, which, in the presence of an aqueous solution of sodium cyanide, causes the dis-solution of gold and the formation of gold cyanide and sodium hydroxide, according to the so-called Elsner reaction (Equations ...

More2020-6-17 Cyanidation is a method used in the extraction of gold from its ore. This extraction is done by converting the gold to a water-soluble form. The cyanidation process of gold extraction or the use of cyanide is the most common leaching process, used in the extraction of gold from its ores.
