The basic principle of the cyanidation process is that weak alkaline cyanide solutions have a preferential dissolving action on the gold and silver contained in an ore. The reaction (Elsner's equation) generally accepted for several decades as representing the dissolution of gold by cyanide solution is

Centrifuges. A centrifuge is a vessel that rotates about a central point. It is used to separate materials in a mixture by density. To separate gold particles from a concentrate, concentrate is fed into the centrifuge through a pipe at the top of the machine in a slurry of around 60-75% water and 40-35% solids.

The refining process used for gold and silver depends on the composition of the material in the feed. The most basic operation is parting which is the separation of gold and silver. Parting can be done electrolytically or by acid leaching. In either case, the silver is removed from the gold.

conventional cyanidation process. Ore is crushed, finely ground, and cyanide leached in a series of agitated tanks to solubilize the gold values. Instead of separating solids from the pregnant solution, as in the traditional cyanidation process, granular activated carbon is added to the leached slurry.

Gold Extraction Process. Ammonia and caustic soda are the key raw materials used in the production of this chemical. Solid sodium cyanide is produced to form a white crystalline briquette or 'cyanoid'. These briquettes are highly soluble and can be delivered to customers using the Orica-designed Sparge system, or in flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs).

the cyanidation process. The dissolution of copper significantly impacts the cyanide demand as additional cyanide is required to complex the copper (in addition to the gold). Cyanide is also oxidised to cyanate by Cu(II) present in the ore and by oxygen (catalysed by the presence of copper and activated carbon).

In mining operations, cyanidation is the predominant method by which gold and silver are recovered from their ores. In practice, the dissolution of gold and silver in aqueous cyanide solution is typically carried out using 0.030.3% NaCN at pH greater than 10, and aeration to keep the pulp or solution saturated with oxygen (7 ppm).
