    Abstract:

    The cyanidation of gold ores containing copper produce effluent solutions that contain soluble copper-cyanide species. Copper and cyanide may be recovered from these effluents by a variety of methods including AVR, SART and direct electrowinning. In this work, the reagents LIX 7950 and LIX 78 were studied for the direct solvent extraction of copper cyanide from the effluent solution to produce a purified, concentrated solution for further treatment.
