The global gold ore grade has been decreasing, and the mineralogy is now more diverse and complex. This has necessitated the utilization of low-grade ores previously not used. During the cyanidation process of such ores, copper cyanide complexes form that are competitively adsorbed with gold onto activated carbon. …

In this process sodium cyanide, in a dilute solution of ranging from 100 ppm to 500 ppm or 0.01% to 0.05% cyanide, is used to selectively dissolve gold from ore. The two most common processes that use cyanide for gold recovery are heap leaching and milling, also known as carbon-in-leach (CIL).

Typically, gold is encapsulated or finely disseminated in refractory gold ores and the direct cyanidation is not effective for gold extraction from these ores, even after the ore is ground to exceeding small particles (Nazari, 2017, Corrans and Angove, 1991).Especially for sulfide refractory gold ores, in order to recover gold, many …

Cyanide is the major leachate for gold production in the mining industry because of its high leaching efficiency, low cost, and high stability [8], [9]. About 90% of the gold ore is produced with cyanidation globally [10], [11]. The gold-bearing ores are mixed with cyanide solution at an alkaline pH and dissolved in the reaction as follows [12]:
