CYANIDE OPTIMIZATION

Lowering Total Cost of Ownership
Cyanco works hard to ensure that our customers use our products responsibly and with due care. But the bottom line is important as well. Our Applied Technology Services group offers equipment and services to optimize cyanide use, helping customers improve their process efficiency and lower operating costs.

Optimize Leach Operations

Optimize Cyanide Addition & Control

Sodium Cyanide Packaging / Mixing
- Detoxification
Detoxification
Once the cyanide molecules have done their job of separating the gold or silver from the ore, some level of residual cyanide will remain in the mine’s effluent and tailings. At Cyanco, we take a phased approach to detoxification, starting with initial test work to assess the most suitable process based on efficiency and costs. We then help customers design and implement an optimized treatment circuit and commission the start-up of the detoxification plant. Cyanco also provides long-term servicing of the treatment circuit and related equipment.
