Gold-selective ion exchange resins have been designed to have a high selectivity for the monovalent Au(CN) 2 - (and Ag(CN) 2 - ) species. Any other metals that forms similar complexes, such as Cu(CN) 2-, will compete for active sites on the resin and reduce the resin's capacity for precious metals.

A process called "Cyanidation", or cyanide leaching, has been the dominant gold extraction technology since the 1970s. In this process sodium cyanide, in a dilute solution of ranging from 100 ppm to 500 ppm or 0.01% to 0.05% cyanide, is used to selectively dissolve gold from ore. ...

The process of gold smelting generally consists of four links: pretreatment, leaching, recovery and refining. At present, the leaching link of gold smelters is mainly gold obtained through cyanide gold extraction technology. For every kilogram of gold produced, four or five tons of sodium cyanide are required (Yin et al. 2021). However, …

As a consequence of reaction (5), the relative abundances of CN − and HCN depend on pH (Fig. 1).For 25 °C solutions prepared from pure water, CN − and HCN are equally abundant at pH 9.2 (the pK a).CN − dominates at higher pH and HCN dominates at lower pH. The pK a changes with temperature, increasing to 9.6 as temperature is …

Sodium cyanide (NaCN; CAS RN 143-33-9) is used mainly as an extraction agent for precious metals (for example, gold, silver) and to a lesser degree for base metals, and as a result, free cyanide and precursors of free cyanide may be released in the effluent of metal mining facilities that use it.
