The consumption of cyanide during processing operations is a major economic cost in the extraction of gold from its ores, while the discharge of cyanide wastes may result in significant environmental pollution. Many factors influence the levels of consumption and discharge of cyanide, including ore mineralogy and lixiviant solution …
There is a vast amount of globally underutilized low-grade mine tailings and leach residues, including those from primary processing of gold. In this research, the target is to recover the remaining gold (10.9 g/t) from weathered refractory iron-rich residue that had previously been subject to autoclave oxidation, subsequent cyanidation in a …

Cyanide is a lixiviant, or reagent that is used to leach, often in tanks, gold from a solid matrix and form a gold cyanide complex. The gold cyanide complex is then extracted from the pulp or slurry by adsorption onto activated carbon. CIL stands for carbon-in-leach. This is a gold extraction process called cyanidation where ...

Coarse gold is usually removed ahead of cyanidation by gold traps, blankets or other standard methods and is treated separately. Otherwise, the dissolution process would be prolonged unduly due to the concentration of coarse gold in the grinding circuit, and the danger of high gold cyanidation residues would always be present.
