ROGERS, BERESKIN & PARR Inventor: Carla C. Frey W. Ronald Hatch Margaret K. Witte Title: RECOVERY OF CYANIDE FROM WASTE WATERS BY AN ION EXCHANGE PROCESS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A process is described for the substantially complete recovery of cyanide reagent and metal forming water soluble metal-cyanide complexes contained in mill effluents and waste waters. The process is comprised of a loading cycle wherein the metal-cyanide complexes are adsorbed onto a basic ion exchange resin and the free cyanide containing column effluent is returned to the mill. The metal ions, which are usually mostly copper, nickel and zinc, and the complexing cyanide are eluted in the subsequent regenerant cycle by an acid solution having controlled pH and controlled redox potential, the latter being measured against the saturated calomel electrode. The preferred oxidant to control the redox potential of the regenerant solution is hydrogen peroxide. The generated hydrogen cyanide is sparged with air, or removed by subatmospheric pressure from the regenerant solution, and dissolved in an alkaline scrubber solution for reuse. The metal ions are recovered from a bleed solution.
