Abstract

An effect of medium pH on distribution of cyanide and copper ions in cyanide and hydroxide complexes with copper is presented. Total cyanide oxidation at carbon fibre and simultaneous total copper recovery was obtained at double electric charge theoretically necessary to complete cyanide oxidation. Electric charge necessary for total reduction of copper on carbon fibre caused simultaneous cyanide oxidation in 71.3%. Electric energy consumption in the case of these two processes was 8.6 kWh/kg CN and 4.3 kWh/kg Cu, respectively.
