Test conditions for the mercury-silver solution were the same as those used for the temperature-potential tests using the mercury-gold solution. Results are shown in figure 6. Mercury extraction was faster at 3.0 V from the mercury-silver solution at both 25° and 60° C than from the mercury-gold solution.

The term "cyanide" refers to a chemical compound containing one atom of carbon and one atom of nitrogen. The technical definition of cyanide is a triple-bonded molecule with a negative one charge, consisting of one atom of carbon in the +2 oxidation state and one atom of nitrogen in the −3 oxidation state (InfoMine, 2012).Cyanides most …

Cyanide compounds are produced and used in commerce in large quantities. In the United States, for example, approximately 200 million pounds of sodium cyanide are used annually just in heap leaching extraction of gold from ore, with much of this use taking place in one state, Nevada, which accounts for about 70% of U.S. gold production.

In the gold ore, 97–98% of the gold can be leached with a solution containing 0.03–0.3% of potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide. After the leaching solution is adsorbed by activated carbon, the gold-loaded carbon adsorbing gold being desorbed, the desorbed solution is electrodeposited to obtain a crude gold powder.

The gold concentration in solution as well as gold extraction followed the redox behavior, decreasing with a decrease in temperature, with gold extractions of 95% at 90 °C, 73% at 60 °C, and 67% at 25 °C, Fig. 2. However, between the temperatures of 90 °C and 98 °C no clear difference in gold extraction was observed.

Sodium dicyanamide (Fig. 10 (b)) was confirmed to dissolve gold in a high-alkalinity solution and form [AuNa x (N(CN) 2) x+2] – (x = 1, 2, 3, or 4). The released dicyanamide groups are much less toxic than cyanide. The gold recovery was 34.8 % under a pH value of 12 and a sodium dicyanamide dosage of 15 kg/t (Li et al., 2021).
