Destruction of cyanide in gold mill effluents: biological
Abstract In gold mining, cyanide has been the preferred lixiviant worldwide since 1887. Although cyanide can be destroyed and recovered by several processes, it is still widely Cyanide in effluents resulting from gold mining is known to be the prime candidate for treatment. However, according to a study by the Ontario Ministry of the Cyanide and removal options from effluents in gold mining

Cyanide (CN−) pollution in the agricultural systems can affect the metabolism of amino acids in rice plants, and weaken their quality and productivity.The amount of chemical wastes originating from mining processes are much lower in volume compared to that of waste rock and tailings but can be of a high risk due to high toxicity. A common chemical used in gold extraction is cyanide. The cyanide dissolves the gold to an aqueous solution. Cyanide is highly toxic for people and the oxidative metabolism of cyanide in gold mines

Exploring anaerobic environments for cyanide and cyano
It has been described that an extracellular rhodanese from Coprothermobacter is involved in anaerobic cyanide metabolism (Tandishabo et al. 2007). Bacteria able to degrade thiocyanate have been isolated from various aerobic and anaerobic environments like soils, soda lakes, gold mine tailing, and activated sludge.Cyanide is a nitrile which is used extensively in many industries like jewelry, mining, electroplating, plastics, dyes, paints, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and coal coking. Cyanides pose a serious health hazard due to their high affinity towards metals and cause malfunction of cellular respiration by inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase.

Introduction. The oxidative leaching of gold is the key step in gold metallurgy. Cyanidation has been the most viable technology and dominant means in the industry for the last 100 years [1, 2, 3].However, cyanide is lethal to humans since it causes tissue hypoxia and asphyxiation [].Poisoning symptoms will appear within a few seconds Eco-friendly and rapid extraction of gold by in-situ catalytic

Acute ecotoxicological effects of Hg(CN)2 in Danio rerio
Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the largest source of anthropogenic Hg emissions on the planet. In addition, Hg-contaminated tailings are often reprocessed with sodium cyanide (NaCN) to extract the residual gold remaining in the material. This leads to the formation of mercury cyanide (Hg(CN)2) complexes, which are Cyanide can be present in environment in the form of simple cyanides, metal complexes, cyanates, and nitriles. These compounds are produced as wastes during industrial processes such as synthesis of organic chemical and plastics, electroplating, petrochemical refining, aluminum works, metal mining, and processing industries as well Role of microbes in biodegradation of cyanide and its metal

Bioleaching of metals from wastes and low-grade sources
Li et al. (2013) investigated several factors influencing gold leaching efficiency such as dissolved oxygen, base metals, particle size, and nutriment, especially several metal ions serving as catalyst in metabolism. Gold recovery from electronic scrap material by bioleaching was also studied using cyanogenic bacterium in a 200 -mL LuriaOxidative pathway. • Reductive pathway. • Substitution/transfer pathway.. • Syntheses pathway. All these pathways depend on the mechanism of tolerance of cyanide in microbes and on the process that it uses to dissociate the cyanide metal complexes or for chelating metals.

Cyanides in the environment—analysis—problems and challenges
Abstract. Cyanide toxicity and their environmental impact are well known. Nevertheless, they are still used in the mining, galvanic and chemical industries. As a result of industrial activities, cyanides are released in various forms to all elements of the environment. In a natural environment, cyanide exists as cyanogenic glycosides in plantsPotential toxicity of cyanogenic glycosides arises from enzymatic degradation to produce hydrogen cyanide.Information on the metabolism of cyanogenic glycosides is available from in vitro, animal and human studies.In the absence of β-glucosidase enzymes from the source plant material, two processes appear to contribute Metabolism of cyanogenic glycosides: A review ScienceDirect
