Gold Analysis: The three main methods used in laboratories for gold analysis are: • Fire assay with a gravimetric, AAS finish or ICP-MS • Aqua regia digestion with a DIBK extraction and an AAS finish • Cyanide extraction (BLEG) Each of these methods is examined in turn. Fire assay
In gold processing using cyanidation, analysis of solution pH is performed to achieve both HSE and metallurgical objectives. Low pH promotes the generation of toxic hydrogen cyanide (HCN) gas from cyanidation tanks. Bullion analysis is performed to determine the purity of the final product. These are just some of the assays and analyses which
Romania's Cyanide SpillWater Contamination and Political CrisisA gold mine—jointly owned by Romania and an Australian company—dumped cyanide-tainted water into a major river in Romania in January 2000, killing fish and endangering the health of people in several countries.Political• Countries weigh the need to encourage investment with the need to protect their environment and people.

The following remarks on the use of the fire assay fluxes and litharge may serve as an aid in arriving to a correct composition of charges for most cases:. Litharge or red lead is added in the proportion of one or two parts to two of ore; if too much litharge (lead oxide) is used the slags are not clean, as a slag containing lead may mean a loss of silver and gold.
Although ionic liquids (ILs) as green solvents have become a focus of research in the field of metal ions separation, little attention has been paid to gold(I) recovery from alkaline cyanide solutions using ILs as extractants. Therefore, this work explores gold(I) extraction using hydrophobic imidazolium-based ionic liquids. RESULTS
A total of 42 micrograms of gold was obtained, with the last two HVAR cycles reporting <0.3 micrograms per cycle. This represents a head grade of 2.1 g/t. The residue was then subjected to repeated alternating cycles of cyanide-DIBK and aqua regia-DIBK leaches. The 1st cycle on the HVAR residue by cyanide-DIBK extracted 9.3 micrograms.
Generally, prior to cyanidation of gold ores, cyanide amenability studies is performed on the ore to ... To determine the free cyanide in solution after each leaching test, 10 ml of filtered solution was ... (DIBK) and sent for AAS analysis. 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1. Chemical Analysis of Pit Samples
4.1 In primary metallurgical processes for gold bearing ores, gold is extracted with an alkaline cyanide solution. Metallurgical accounting, process control, and ore evaluation procedures depend on accurate, precise, and prompt measurements of the gold concentrations.

The Chemistry of Use of Cyanide in the Mining Industry Cyanide is a naturally occurring compound that bonds with gold, allowing it to be brought into solution. It can easily be separated from gold …
[14]-[16]. A prerequisite for analysis of gold with MIBK [17]and its determination in graphite furnace was the previous precipitation of iron with ammonium hydroxide in order to eliminate interference effect on gold. Little attention was given to solvent extraction of gold from alkaline cyanide solutions …
for the analysis of cyanide in solutions containing 50-100 ppm free cyanide. Furthermore, 0.000125 mol/liter silver nitrate is the most suitable concentration of the titrant in solutions containing 1-10 ppm free cyanide. Finally, the data were applied for the determination of free cyanide concentration in a synthetic mine water.
note that the dibk standard reading will differ from a gold chloride or cyanide reading due to the difference in uptake rates for the same standards. **This method removes all Iron and interfering impurities from the leach to negligent levels even in saturated Iron solutions.

The cyanide-ammonia system is known as an alternative system for the treatment of complex copper-gold ores. Thermodynamic research on the Au Cu(Cu 2 O, Cu 2 S) CN − NH 4 + O 2 OH − H 2 O systems resulted in producing log(mol)-mol diagrams and δG values for relevant reactions. In log(mol)-mol diagrams the thermodynamic possibility of the existence of both the Au(CN) 2 − and Cu …
