Cyanide hazards to plants and animals from gold mining

Cyanide extraction of gold through milling of high-grade ores and heap leaching of low-grade ores requires cycling of millions of liters of alkaline water containing high concentrations of potentially toxic sodium cyanide (NaCN), free cyanide, and metal-cyanide complexes. Some milling operations res

Cyanide – Waihi Gold

2021-11-12 · The first cyanidation plant in the world was established close to Waihi, at the Crown Mine at Karangahake, in 1889. By 1892 there were six cyanide plants on the Ohinemuri Goldfield, plus others at Thames and Coromandel. The process was a great success, as the recovery of gold improved from 40-50% to 85-95%.

Cyanide Usage in Gold Mining in the Tropics

Cyanide enters the body upon inhalation of HCN and ingestion or injection of hydrocyanic acid or cyanide ions(CN-). It can also be absorbed by the skin, this being most common when working directly with the chemical as in the mining industry (e.g. gold extraction plant). When cyanide enters the body, it quickly enters the blood stream.
