Sodium Cyanide
Yes, it can. For example, gold forms a covalent bond with a cyanide ion, which is why cyanide salts are used in the mining industry.
No. It is used in the refining and fracturing processing the ore to get the Gold out of the base rock. Cyanide is used in a utility capacity, it is not a Gold or Silver by-product.
Lime is used extensively in the recovery of gold and silver. Ores, either run of mine, milled, autoclaved, or roasted are combined with lime and a cyanide solution. The cyanide dissolves the gold and silver. Lime maintains proper pH in the cyanide solution keeping it in the liquid phase, preventing the formation of hydrogen cyanide gas and its loss into the atmosphere. hari julka
Plutonium is not used in gold mining !
- gold extraction is based on sodium cyanide- sodium cyanide is an important feedstock for the organic chemicals industry
Highly toxic cyanide is used to extract gold ore.
Cyanides (NaCN or KCN) are not used in uranium mining and recovery, but it is used in gold mining.

Extracting gold from ore. Gold comes in small concentrations in the ore mined from the ground so they soak it with cyanaide which binds to the gold and then they collect the cyanide and use another chemical reaction to separate it from the gold.
AnswerIndustrially, cyanide is used in addition of carbon to certain organic compounds and in gold ore processing. In society, it has been used as a form of execution (the gas chamber).

Cyanide is a poison, and Hydrogen Cyanide is often used to purify gold.

Cyanide is a highly toxic substance for humans and most animals. It is believed that minute quantities can benefit humans, but when this is used in mining, there is not minute quantities in circulation. When it is used in mining, one need protective equipment or face an agonizing death.
