This method of making soluble gold is known as leaching. In the process of leaching, a dilute form of sodium cyanide is added into the ore containing the gold. Since gold is soluble after the leaching process, it is free to move through the membrane while the rest of ore cannot pass through the membrane.
A stone published by L. Elsner in 1846 first correctly identified the stone reaction that forms the basis of all gold cyanide leaching processes 4 Au 8 NaCN O 2 2 H 2 O → 4 NaAuCN 2 4 NaOH. The equation is well known but the successful application of this reaction in
The reactions that take place during the dissolution of gold in cyanide solutions under normal conditions have been fairly definitely established. Most agree that the overall cyanide equation for leaching and cyanidation of gold is as follows: 4 Au + 8 NaCN + O2 + 2 H20 = 4 NaAu(CN)2 + 4 NaOH

A stone published by L. Elsner in 1846 first correctly identified the stone reaction that forms the basis of all gold cyanide leaching processes: 4 Au + 8 NaCN + O 2 + 2 H 2 O → 4 Na [Au (CN) 2] + 4 NaOH The equation is well known, but the successful application of this reaction in a gold mining operation is rarely straightforward.

The leaching of gold can be conveniently represented by the Elsener equation: Although air agitated leach tanks were commonly used in the industry, mechanically agitated reactors are preferred due to lower operating costs.
Leaching gold from sulfide ores is difficult, at best. Generally, the recovery for cyanide leaching of sulfide or refractory ores is no better than 30%, which is not a worthwhile venture. The use of alkalies such as calcium oxide, will prevent the decomposition of cyanide in solution to form hydrogen cyanide gas.
The addition of gold or silver to an alkaline sodium cyanide solution will cause the metals to react with the cyanide and dissolve them into the solution. The process is called cyanidation or leaching.
Drawbacks of leaching include its lower efficiency and the often significant quantities of waste effluent and tailings produced, which are usually either highly acidic or alkali as well as toxic (e.g. bauxite tailings). There are four types of leaching: Cyanide leaching (e.g. gold ore) Ammonia leaching (e.g. crushed ore)
Carbon leaching process is characterized by simultaneous gold leaching and adsorption stages, with normal leaching segments of 6-10 segments.

Cyanide leaching of gold is carried out in very large mechanically stirred tank reactors. The reactor size can be up to 5000 m3. A typical agitator configuration is two downward- pumping hydrofoil impellers, which requires a low mixing power input and results in low shear rates inside the reactor.
The presence of copper minerals with gold is known to lead to many challenges during the cyanidation of gold ores, such as high consumption of cyanide with low gold extraction and undesirable impacts on gold recovery during the downstream processes.

Aqua regia and io- dine/iodide leaching systems were the most successful reagents, yielding 100 % of gold while showing very fast leaching rates. A comparison between the two success- ful reagents was carried out, with the results favoring iodine leaching due to its high selectivity for precious metals and reduced environmental impact.
Usage: CNLITE is used in the same way as sodium cyanide in heap leaching, pool leaching and agitation leaching of gold ore. The reagent can be dissolved in solution with gold cyanide extraction. When used, the CNLITE gold leaching agent must be agitated with alkaline water at normal temperature and then dissolved in slurry for gold leaching.
Thus, gold is leached to get pure metal. During leaching process, gold (Au) is first oxidized by oxygen of the air to Au + cation which then combines with CN ions to form the soluble complex, sodium dicyanoaurate (I). Gold is then extracted from this complex by displacement method by using a more electropositive zinc metal.
leaching reaction stems from the fact that the reaction thermodynamics are less favorable than the cyanide leach reaction. Consequently, higher concentrations of thiosulphate are needed to achieve equivalent rates of gold leaching, and a typical thiosulphate leach solution will have a reagent concentration of 5 to 20 g/L versus a cyanide concentration of only 0.25 to 1 g/L. The higher
