The Method of Recovering Sodium Cyanide from Solutions Containing Cyanide and Thiocyanate

 

This invention is a method to recover sodium cyanide from solutions that contains cyanide and thiocyanate, which belongs to a method for recycling use of sodium cyanide. It is operated in the following order: precious metals recovering, barren solution pretreatment, cyanide reclaiming from the barren solution, sodium cyanide recclaiming from thiocyanate, arsenium treatment, and recycling use of the filtrated solution after further treatment of the cyanide. Adopting this technique to treat the solutions containing cyanide and thiocyanate, the recovery of precious metals can be up to over 95%, the recovery of cyanide from the barren solution can be up to over 99.5%, the recovery of sodium cyanide from thiocyanate can be up to over 85%, the total recovery of cyanide is greater than 94%. After treatment, the arsenic value reaches the standard for disposal, and the total cyanide reaches the standard for disposal as well.
