Introducing Sodium Cyanide

In the mining sector, Sodium cyanide has become an indispensable chemical due to its efficient gold extraction capabilities. It not only enhances the recovery rate of precious metals from ores but also brings significant economic and environmental benefits to mining companies. This article will comprehensively introduce the industry applications of Sodium Cyanide, its safe handling, and its future development potential in green mining.

The Role of Sodium Cyanide in Gold Mining

Sodium cyanide plays a crucial role in gold mining due to its powerful dissolving and capturing abilities. Through the cyanidation process, sodium cyanide can dissolve gold in the form of cyanide complexes, significantly improving the recovery rate of precious metals.

High Recovery Rate: Sodium cyanide can achieve over 95% gold extraction efficiency, making it one of the most economically efficient methods for gold recovery in the industry.

Wide Applicability: It is suitable for various types of ores, including low-grade and complex ores, helping mining companies maximize resource utilization.

Safety and Hazards

Sodium cyanide is extremely toxic and poses significant risks. It is a potent inhibitor of respiration, acting on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase and hence blocking electron transport . This results in decreased oxidative metabolism and oxygen utilization . This compound releases hydrogen cyanide gas, a highly toxic chemical asphyxiant that interferes with the body’s ability to use oxygen.
