Hard-rock mining, which makes up the majority of today's commercial gold sourcing, requires a more in-depth, chemical-reliant extraction process. The most used approach, in this case, is gold cyanidation, which, in short, uses a cyanide-based solution to separate precious metals from encapsulating rock.

Elsner's equation is generally accepted as expressing the action of gold in dilute cyanide solutions; 4 Au + 8 KCN + O2 + 2 H2O = 4 KAu (CN)2+ 4 KOH. Thus, when fresh surfaces of gold are exposed to the action of cyanide in an aqueous solution containing free oxygen, a gold cyanide compound will be formed and a hydroxide …
