Gold cyanidation
Cyanide leaching. Cyanide leaching was first applied to extract gold from pyritic ore, which prior to the discovery of gold cyanidation could not be extracted. This led to heavy investment in mining in the 1890s and the opening of larger gold mines. Leaching gold with cyanide is still a widely used hydrometallurgical process in today's mining ...
