Since the 1890s, cyanide has been used to recover gold from gold bearing ores. And today, over 115 years later, most of the worlds gold is recovered with cyanide playing a large part in the beneficiation of the yellow precious metal. Chemically, it is a rather simple reaction: 4 Au + 8 NaCN +O2 + 2 H2O = 4 NaAu CN2 + 4 NaOH

In 1783, Carl Wilhelm Scheele discovered that gold dissolved in aqueous solutions of cyanide. Through the work of Bagration 1844, Elsner 1846, and Faraday 1847, it was determined that each atom of gold required two cyanide ions, i.e. the stoichiometry of the soluble compound. The expansion of gold mining in the Rand of South Africa began to slow down in the 1880s, as the new deposits being found tended to pyritic ore. The gold could not be extracted from this compound with an…
