Cyanide compounds are hazardous compounds which are extremely toxic to living organisms, especially free cyanide in the form of hydrogen cyanide gas (HCN) and cyanide ion (CN−). These cyanide compounds are metabolic inhibitors since they can tightly bind to the metals of metalloenzymes. Anthropogenic sources contribute significantly to CN− contamination in the environment, more ...

Heap leaching: In the open, cyanide solution is sprayed over huge heaps of crushed ore spread atop giant collection pads. The cyanide dissolves the gold from the ore into the solution as it trickles through the heap. The pad collects the now metal-impregnated solution which is stripped of gold and resprayed on the heap until the ore is depleted.

The three most important iron minerals in cyanidation are pyrite, marcasite and pyrrhotite. These minerals decompose in cyanide solutions in the order given, i.e., pyrite is the most stable and pyrrhotite the least. Pyrite, FeS2, is insoluble in hydrochloric acid, but decomposes readily in nitric acid, most of the sulphur going to sulphuric acid.

(1) Copper minerals (such as chalcopyrite and covellite) that do not contain iron are similar in floatability. Cyanide and lime have weaker inhibition on them, so a large amount of lime can be added to inhibit pyrite in the separation of copper and sulfur without seriously affecting the floatability of copper minerals.
