How is cyanide used in mining? A sodium cyanide solution is commonly used to leach gold from ore. There are two types of leaching: Heap leaching: In the open, cyanide solution is sprayed over huge heaps of crushed ore spread atop giant collection pads. The cyanide dissolves the gold from the ore into the solution as it trickles through the heap.

Activated carbon, with its extensive network of pores, acts as an adsorbent. In gold mining, it traps gold cyanide complexes (Au (C N) 2 −)formed by leaching gold ore with cyanide solution (NaCN) . This adsorption process is primarily physical, involving weak attractive forces between the gold complex and the carbon surface .
