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.

Is cyanide found in teflon seeds of plants burning plastics or gold and silver mining operations?

Cyanide can be found in gold and silver mining operations as it is commonly used to extract these metals from ores. However, cyanide is not naturally present in Teflon or in burning plastics.

What is the formula for silver cyanide?

The molecular formula for silver cyanide is AgCN.Silver cyanide is often used in silver plating.


What is the difference between silver cyanide and gold cyanide?

The cyanide radical consists of a carbon atom triple bonded to a nitrogen atom, and has a -1 charge. It's CN- as we write it. The only difference between silver and gold cyanide is the silver and the gold. Both precious metals will form a bond with the radical in their +1 valence state, so the observer will see either AgCN or AuCN molecules. The former is, of course, silver cyanide, and the latter is gold cyanide.


Argentite is a ore of which metal?

Argentite is an ore of silver. It is a sulfide mineral that is a valuable source of silver in mining operations.


What is the chemical reaction for cyanide and silver?

When cyanide reacts with silver, it forms a complex coordination compound known as silver cyanide (AgCN). The chemical reaction can be represented as: Ag + CN- → AgCN. Silver cyanide is a white solid that is sparingly soluble in water.


Why is zinc and not copper is used for the recovery of silver from cyanide complex?

Zinc is used for the recovery of silver from cyanide complex because zinc has a stronger affinity for cyanide compared to silver. When zinc is added to the cyanide solution, it displaces silver from the complex, forming insoluble silver-zinc alloy particles that can be easily separated. Copper is not used because it does not have a strong enough affinity for cyanide to displace silver effectively.


What industry cyanide compounds are widely used?

Oh, dude, cyanide compounds are like the rockstars of the mining industry. They're used to extract gold and silver from ore in a process called cyanidation. So, yeah, cyanide is basically the VIP guest at the precious metal extraction party.
