Details of Cyanide Practice

By Herbert Ashton 1876- Megraw

Details of Cyanide Practice, by Herbert Ashton Megraw, is a detailed examination of the cyanide process as it was used in the early 20th century, primarily for the extraction of gold and silver from ores. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the chemical reactions, equipment, and practical considerations involved in cyanide leaching. It covers various aspects, including the preparation of ores, the dissolution of metals, the recovery of precious metals from cyanide solutions, and the handling of waste products.

Megraw's work serves as a valuable historical record of mining technology and chemical engineering practices, and it offers insights into the scientific and industrial advancements of its time. It remains relevant for those interested in the history of mining, chemical processes, and the evolution of metallurgical techniques.
