Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Cyanidation gold refiners extract and recover gold from gold ore using a leaching process with sodium cyanide, handling the refining process as a technical job.
Description
Cyanidation gold refiners crush and grind gold ore, leach it in sodium cyanide solution to dissolve the gold, and perform tasks to separate and recover gold through processes such as solvent extraction, activated carbon adsorption, and electrowinning. They monitor pH and cyanide concentrations, measure gold concentrations using analytical instruments, operate and maintain equipment, ensure safety management, and comply with environmental regulations. Handling chemicals requires strict safety procedures and legal knowledge.
Future Outlook
Although affected by fluctuations in gold prices, with advances in resource recycling and the introduction of environmentally friendly processes, optimization of processes and adaptation to automation technologies are required.
