Measuring pH in Cyanide Leaching
pH values below 11 favor the formation of HCN, hydrogen cyanide that interferes with reaction (1). Hydrogen cyanide is a colorless and poisonous gas that, if released due to lower pH values, can quickly become deadly. Cyanide is also a relatively expensive chemical, so small losses in heap leaching can amount to large makeup costs over time.

At the same time the amount of oxygen in the solution would decrease ...
Leaching Meaning
Such leached-out contaminants affect surface and subsurface water contamination. Types of Leaching. ... Cyanide Leaching. A cyanide solution, or lixiviant, is percolated into ore deposited in vats, columns or heaps during the cyanide leaching process. The cyanide dissolves gold, which is then extracted from the heap or columns. ...
