gold processing using cynide
Isolation and removal of cyanide from tailing dams in gold
· Cyanide is one of toxic compound composed of carbon and nitrogen which usually found in wastewater of many process industries such as electroplating nylon fibers resins herbicides and mineral processing plant. For example Cyanide is used in industrial processes for gold and silver extraction (Khodadadi et al. 2005).
Chat OnlineExtraction of gold using cyanideNZQA
· Extraction of gold using cyanide Gold is found in very low concentrations in the ore from which it is mined. To collect the gold from the ore it needs to be separated from the other minerals in the ore. To do this the gold needs to be made into a soluble form so that it can be separated from the other minerals as gold is insoluble.
