gold's affinity to cyanide

Cyanide ions have a natural affinity for gold, which reacts with the gold solid particles to make gold cyanide complexes which are soluble in water. Is NaCN acidic basic or neutral - The QA wiki This application exploits the high affinity of gold (I) for cyanide , which induces gold metal to oxidize and dissolve in the presence of air and water.

Cyanide Use in Gold Mining - Earthworks

Cyanide's efficiency makes mining more wasteful. Because cyanide leaching is very efficient, it allows profitable mining of much lower ore grades. Mining lower grade ore requires the extraction and processing of much more ore to get the same amount of gold. Partially due to cyanide, modern mines are. much larger than before cyanide was used;

2004-12-10  Copper formed a complex with cyanide ion, i.e. tetracyanocuprate which had greater affinity for H 2 O 2. Cyanate hydrolysis was also favoured by copper ions. As Cu 2+ ion concentration was increased, rate of degradation also increased. Photochemical oxidation by H 2 O 2 and Cu 2+ was found to be the best system for cyanide degradation.
