Therefore, during cyanide leaching process, it is difficult for the cyanide solution to contact with gold mineral, so the gold leaching rate is often low. Solution After reaching a certain degree of monomer dissociation, for gold ores with low arsenic content, aqueous solution oxidation, aqueous chlorination, bacterial oxidation, etc. can be used.

After cyanide is hydrolyzed, part will generate hydrocyanic acid, and part will be oxidized and hydrolyzed to gradually generate carbonic acid and ammonia. At 100°C, CN– loses 50%. At 130°C, it loses 85%. In the gold cyanidation process, hydrocyanic acid is a highly toxic gas.

In cyanidation, metallic gold is oxidised and dissolved in an alkaline cyanide solution. When gold dissolution is complete, the gold-bearing solution is separated from the solids. With ores of higher gold content (greater than 20 grams of gold per tonne of ore), cyanidation is accomplished by vat leaching, which involves holding a slurry of ore and solvent in large tanks equipped with agitators.

· Gold cyanidation, also called cyanide leaching, is a process used to extract gold from raw ore taken from the ground. It uses cyanide to dissolve the gold within the rock, which, itself, is not soluble in cyanide. The gold is then drawn out in a liquid form that can be treated to remove the cyanide.

Cyanide leaching of gold is a common step used in the separation between gold concentrate and gangue minerals. Generally, the common gold extraction processes mainly include gravity separation, flotation, magnetic separation and electric separation, and the low grade gold concentrate obtained by the above gold extraction processes can be further processed using cyanidation method.
