Extraction of gold and silver involves leaching with CN ion. Silver is later recovered by
Distillation
Zone refining
Displacement with Zn
Liquation
To solve this problem, we need to understand the process of extracting silver from its ore using cyanide leaching.The extraction of silver involves the following steps:1. Leaching:⢠Silver ore is treated with a dilute solution of sodium cyanide (NaCN) or potassium cyanide (KCN).⢠The cyanide ion forms a complex with silver, resulting in the dissolution of silver as a soluble complex.
