Cyanide process is also called as Macarthur-forest Process. It is the process of extracting gold or silver from the ores by dissolving in a dilute solution of potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide. This process was introduced in the year 1887 by the Scottish chemists naming Robert W. Forrest, John S. MacArthur, and William Forrest.

At present, most cyanidation gold extraction plants use cyanide as a gold extraction reagent. As is well known, cyanide is a kind of highly toxic hazardous chemical, so any misoperation in transportation, storage, use, and other links will cause the events of serious environmental pollution, malignant poisoning, etc.

Heap leaching: In the open, cyanide solution is sprayed over huge heaps of crushed ore spread atop giant collection pads. The cyanide dissolves the gold from the ore into the solution as it trickles through the heap. The pad collects the now metal-impregnated solution which is stripped of gold and resprayed on the heap until the ore is depleted.

The gold cyanidation process is the most important method ever developed for extracting gold from its ores. The reasons the widespread acceptance of cyanidation are economic as well as metallurgical. It usually obtains a higher recovery of gold than plate amalgamation and is easier to operate than the chlorine or bromine process.

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.

Process. Cyanide can be used to extract gold, either in a controlled mill environment, or more crudely on rock piles in the open. Cyanide "vat leaching" mixes finely crushed ore with a cyanide salt in water. The cyanide binds to the gold ions, and makes them soluble in water, thereby allowing separation from the rock.

Feb 06, 2015 · Cyanide Leaching Chemistry & Gold Cyanidation. The reactions that take place during the dissolution of gold in cyanide solutions under normal conditions have been fairly definitely established. Most agree that the overall cyanide equation for leaching and cyanidation of gold is as follows: 4 Au + 8 NaCN + O2 + 2 H20 = 4 NaAu (CN)2 + 4 NaOH.

Silver and gold are extracted by the cyanide process (Mac Arthur - Forrest process). After the preliminary crushing and concentration by froth floatation process, the ore (crushed auriferous rocks in the case of gold) is leached with dilute (0.4 - 7%) solution of sodium cyanide made alkaline by adding lime kept agitated by a current of air.
