Demystify:

Hi All,

I am currently setting up a lab to develop precious metal extraction from cyanide liquor. It'll involve first stage anion chromatophraphy and then electrowinning.

Can people please send their advice and any links to papers of best practices? I'd be extremely grateful. In particular, if anyone has good experience of how to protect against HCN evolution (an issue when eluting with acid thiourea), that would be great.

Best,

Hugo
