Very dilute solutions of sodium cyanide (NaCN) are used in gold mining operations, typically in the range of % to % cyanide (100 to 500 parts per million [ppm]) for the process of leaching (Logsdon, Hagelstein, Mudder, 1999).

leaching of gold from ores. Cyanide leaching is not inherently a selective process since many other metals/minerals present in the ore are also readily soluble under cyanide leaching conditions [1]. In this regard, most copper minerals are highly soluble in cyanide solutions (Table 1) although chalcopyrite and tetrahedrite are relatively stable.

Heap leach mining is a technique used to extract gold and other metals from generally low grade ore where the target material is placed on an impermeable liner and sprinkled with a leaching solution. Gold is generally mobilized using cyanide; the success of this technique is driven by its reasonable cost.

In order to adjust the pH in gold leaching circuits, limestone is usually used. It is expected that the gold dissolution rate is decreased by increasing the pH because OHions are adsorbed on gold surface and prevent cyanide to access the gold surface. Also, this may be due to increasing the rate of reaction competition such as

gold leaching rate by 20%. There have also been many experimental investigations of the effects of varying solution chemistry and ore mineralogy on cyanide consumption [8]. On the other hand, there have been rather fewer efforts to develop models for estimating cyanide consumption under real leaching conditions.

The process of extracting gold from ore with cyanide is called cyanidation. The reaction, known as Elsner's Equation, is: 4 Au + 8 CN+ O 2 + 2 H 2 O = 4 Au(CN) 2+ 4 OHAlthough the affinity of cyanide for gold is such that it is extracted preferentially, cyanide will also form complexes with other metals from the ore, including copper, iron and zinc.
