A systematic review of sustainable gold extraction from raw ores using
Environmentally friendly ligands, alternatives to cyanide, are desired to extract gold for the sustainable hydrometallurgy of gold. Leaching characteristics of gold were examined using thiourea (TU) and ethylene thiourea (ETU) as ligands from three types of gold ores with different Fe contents from 2.70 to 14.09 wt% under the acidic condition.

Advances in the Cyanidation of Gold
Cyanidation, a process used for over a century to extract gold from free milling ores, is so effective that it can economically treat low-grade ores (0.5 g/t Au). The concentration of cyanide added to dissolve gold is much higher than the stoichiometric requirement because of various interferences.

The Safe and Effective Use of Cyanide
A process called "Cyanidation", or cyanide leaching, has been the dominant gold extraction technology since the 1970s. In this process sodium cyanide, in a dilute solution of ranging from 100 ppm to 500 ppm or 0.01% to 0.05% cyanide, is used to selectively dissolve gold from ore.

Cyanide Use in Gold Mining
How is cyanide used in mining? A sodium cyanide solution is commonly used to leach gold from ore. There are two types of leaching: 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.

Cyanide Leaching Chemistry & Gold Cyanidation
Special procedures and processes have been used for the extraction of gold from ores containing tellurides. Metallic gold is frequently associated very intimately with such minerals as pyrite and arsenopyrite. In order to insure contact between the gold and cyanide solution, the ore must be ground very finely.

The use of halides as gold lixiviants occurs earlier than cyanide (La Brooy et al., 1994). Chlorination was extensively used in gold extraction in the late 19th century until the development of cyanidation, a more economical process with a higher stability complex, rapidly replacing chlorination.

BACKGROUND NOTE ON CYANIDE IN GOLD MINING
The most used process for gold extraction is hydrometallurgical recovery (gold cyanidation), which involves a "leaching" step during which the gold is dissolved in an aqueous medium, followed by the separation of the gold bearing solution from the residues. Gold is one of the noble metals and as such it is not soluble in water.
