Synopsis
This book provides a comprehensive guide to the cyanide process for extracting gold from ores and tailings. The cyanide process is a chemical process that uses cyanide to dissolve gold from ore, and was first commercially applied to the extraction of gold and silver in 1890. The book covers the history, chemistry, and practical aspects of the cyanide process, including a wealth of practical detail for the benefit of those working in the field. It also discusses the limitations of the process, such as the presence of certain deleterious substances that can result in excessive cyanide consumption, the presence of gold and silver in forms in which it is not easily yielded up, and the effect of iron salts. The author also offers a balanced assessment of the cyanide process, acknowledging its benefits and drawbacks, and emphasizing the need for careful evaluation of each ore or tailings material to determine its suitability for cyanide treatment.
