2017-1-22 · None of these conditions can be secured in precipitating the gold from a cyanide ore-extraction solution. It is true that in the Siemens and Halske method a soluble anode of iron plate is used; but all the cyanogen that combines with the iron is lost, ferrous cyanide and finally Prussian-blue being formed to no useful purpose. The principal ...

Extraction of gold using cyanide - Home » NZQA

2015-8-24 · Extraction of gold using cyanide Gold is found in very low concentrations in the ore from which it is mined. To collect the gold from the ore it needs to be separated from the other minerals in the ore. To do this the gold needs to be made into a soluble form so that it can be separated from the other minerals as gold is insoluble.
