cyanide consumption alone would be $78/oz Au (it takes about 62 tonnes of ore to produce one ounce of gold at this recovery). This illustrated cost does not include the cost of cyanide destruction, which if no copper/cyanide recovery treatment is proposed, may be required for some projects at high copper concentrations.
Zinc precipitation on gold recovery
This section deals with setting the gold free from the gold-cyanide solution. Main reactions are the deposition of gold on the surfaces of zinc particles. There are two half cell reactions representing this, the first one being the reduction of gold by zinc. Gold cyanide loses an electron to form Au and ion. The zinc introduced then reacts with

Destruction of cyanide by hydrogen peroxide in tailings slurries from
Cyanide treatment processes may be classified as a destruction-based process versus the physical processes of cyanide recovery and activated carbon sorption. Most cyanide destruction processes operate on the principle of converting cyanide into one or more less toxic compounds such as ammonia, cyanate (OCN − ) and nitrate through an oxidation ...
A case study of CIP tails slurry treatment: comparison of …
water (by cyanide destruction) is the most economical of all options; (ii) the capital cost of cyanide recovery is relatively high, thus for this technology to be economically competitive, the level of recoverable cyanide in the CIP tails must be high (at least 200ppm); (iii) cyanide recovery alone cannot meet the environmental
