Low pH cyanidation of gold
Lime is used in CIP/CIL slurries to increase the pH, which partially stops the formation of aqueous hydrogen cyanide. Hydrogen cyanide gas can be evolved directly from the pulp surface or purged from the leach tank in oxygen or air that is sparged into the tanks to provide oxygen for the dissolution of gold.

Sorting through the heap
One of the advantages of heap leaching versus conventional milling and using either carbon-in-pulp (CIP) or carbon-in-leach (CIL) for gold recovery is the lower cost. However, along with that lower cost comes a lower recovery rate. Gold recovery is also usually only about 55% to 75% compared with roughly 90% recovery in an agitated …
Cyanide Use in Gold Mining
A sodium cyanide solution is commonly used to leach gold from ore. There are two types of leaching: 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.

Typical residence times in the leach
Heap leaching a stack of gold
Heap leaching is used to extract gold, copper, silver, uranium, and iodine. This method was first employed to extract copper at the Bluebird mine in the US in the early 1960s, and then by several gold mines in the western parts of the US a few years later. Since then, heap leaching has been adopted successfully by many mines across the …
