Review of the Impact on Water Quality and Treatment
The main merits of cyanidation are the high selectivity of free cyanide for gold dissolution compared to other metals and an extremely high stability constant (2 × 10 38) of the gold cyanide complex [].. Dilute sodium cyanide solutions within concentration ranges of 0.01–0.05% are used in mines for gold leaching [].Gold ore is subjected to …

Hydrometallurgy of precious metals recovery
White this process is generally extremely efficient and fairly cheap, it does have limitations in the treatment of low-grade ores and certain complex ore types. For example, ores with a high content of clay or other soft, fine minerals are usually difficult to filter, and losses of soluble gold or silver in the residues can be unacceptably high.

The extraction of gold for the control test without the use of maltodextrin was 12.76% for standard cyanidation and 63.19 % for CIL cyanidation, as for the concentrates obtained using maltodextrin the gold extraction was 70.21% and 87.26 %, respectively. This shows the positive effect of maltodextrin as a depressant for the carbonaceous matter.

Mineralogical characteristics and treatment of refractory gold ores
Abstract. Refractory gold ores and concentrates are characterised by low gold recoveries and high cyanide consumptions when subjected to direct cyanide leaching. Therefore an oxidation pretreatment step is required before cyanidation that will break up the sulphide lattice and render gold particles accessible to cyanide ions.
