· Sodium cyanide is most commonly used for mining applications. It’s sold as either a liquid or a solid briquette and its strength, usually quoted on a molar basis, can range anywhere from 98% and above. It’s an ideal solution for gold processing because it is cost-effective, quick to process, and readily available.

The Safe and Effective Use of Cyanide in the Mining Industry
A process called “Cyanide Leaching” or Cyanidation has been the dominant gold extraction technology since the 1970s. Cyanide, in the form of a dilute sodium cyanide solution, is used to dissolve and separate gold from ore [4]. This process was first used in large scale commercial mining in 1889 [3, 4]. Cyanide leaching is safer and more
