New Cyanide Process for Gold Recovery Showcases Mercury Addition
A claimed cyanide method by Dr Keith, now in London, mixes potassium cyanide with cyanide of mercury at specific concentrations to speed dissolution. Gold is recovered electrolytically by depositing with mercury on amalgamated copper plates, then distilling mercury. Anode is kept in a separate compartment with alkaline solution to prevent cyanide decomposition. The system operates at low voltage and current density.
