Historically mercury was used extensively in placer gold mining in order to form mercury-gold amalgam with smaller gold particles and thereby increase the gold recovery rates Large-scale use of mercury stopped in the 1960s However mercury is still used in artisanal and small-scale gold mining ASGM often clandestine gold prospecting

The slurry that remains after this process has a very fine particle size Typically 80 of the ore particles are less than 70 microns in size about the same consistency as fine beach sand Such a fine particle size is required for gold liberation the size required for the cyanide to be able to see the gold in the leaching process

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 carbon is added to

Jul 03 2015· The Cyanide Leaching Process has been the most widely used and most cost effective method of extracting gold from ore since the 1970 s Most open-pit gold mining operations around the world use a heap leaching to extract ores from these types of deposits

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

Cyanide use in mining 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

Once the gold has been dissolved in the cyanide and the ore body has been reasonably depleted of its gold there are two main processes for recovering the gold from the pregnant cyanide solution One is the Merrill-Crowe zinc precipitation process and the other is the adsorption of the gold …

This is not surprising given the less desirable aspects of its historical use and the many myths and misconceptions relating to cyanide The cyanide process of gold recovery enabled a higher percentage of gold and silver to be extracted from hard rock making many operations viable that would otherwise have had to close

Potassium cyanide is an extremely toxic salt with the formula KCN Its toxicity comes from the cyanide ion CN- Despite its toxicity potassium cyanide if often used in mining gold

The slurry that remains after this process has a very fine particle size Typically 80 of the ore particles are less than 70 microns in size about the same consistency as fine beach sand Such a fine particle size is required for gold liberation the size required for the cyanide to be able to see the gold in the leaching process
