The Merrill-Crowe gold recovery process removes precious metals from a cyanide solution by zinc precipitation. The pregnant solution is first clarified through filters such as horizontal leaf type clarifiers. By using a precoat system (with diatomaceous earth) an extremely clear solution can be produced. The specific design criteria for these ...

leaching and milling processes, after the gold is chemically precipitated, the solution is adjusted for pH and cyanide concentration, and recycled to precipitate more gold. Even tually, the remaining solution must be treated to recycle the cyanide or to destroy it to prevent escape into the environment.

For example, the cyanide complexes of gold(I) and gold(III) are Au(CN); and Au(CN)';-, respectively, and both gold(I) and gold(III) tend to take up extra ligands in an effort to attain their prefer red co-ordination numbers. Thus insoluble AuCN in contact with a solution containing cyanide ions will tend to take up a second CN-to form the solu

The precipitation of gold from cyanide solutions with zinc requires either enough cyanide or enough caustic alkali or both to attack the metal with the evolution of hydrogen. Also, the zinc must be in such a form that each tiny bubble of nascent hydrogen will make contact with and adhere to a particle of zinc, forming an active couple.

recovery of gold from Merrill-Crowe process cyanide solution, involves two different operations: 1) gold dis-solution, where it is oxidized and dissolved to form Au (I) ion and cyanide complex 2, and 2) precipitation by reduction of metallic gold. In the cyanidation process, free cyanide ions in solution can only be provided at a pH of 9.0.

Zinc, the element used to precipitate gold from solution, if present in the ore, will bond with the cyanide to form a zinc cyanide compound. Another element that plays with the cyanide chemistry is nickel. Nickel, however does not interfere with the gold going into solution, but rather the precipitation of the gold from the cyanide solution.
