Master the cyanide process with a practical laboratory guide you can trust.
This book presents the chemistry and engineering of cyanidation as it applies to real ore testing and plant operation. It emphasizes laboratory methods, data interpretation, and the decisions that drive successful milling and extraction.
The text frames the subject around how a modern laboratory supports investigation, scale-up, and daily practice in gold and silver recovery. It covers core topics from dissolution and precipitation to testing methods, control of reagents, and handling of common difficulties in cyanide treatment.
- Learn reliable laboratory procedures for testing ores and cyanide solutions
- Explore percolation, agitation, and precipitation tests used in practice
- Understand the role of lead salts, alkalinity, and zinc precipitation in process control
- Discover data, formulas, and procedures that support plant operation decisions
Ideal for students, engineers, and metallurgical technicians working in cyanide–based gold and silver recovery, or upgrading an existing plant’s laboratory program.
