Le cyanure est utilisé couramment dans l'industrie minière pour l'extraction de l'or. La cyanuration est l'un des procédés les plus simples et les plus courants utilisé pour extraire le métal précieux de sa gangue minérale [...]. Le procédé est basé sur la capacité du cyanure à former des combinés, des sels avec l'or. Le métal précieux présente en effet l'inconvénient d’être inoxydable. Il est peu attaqué par les agents réactifs chimiques, à l'exception notable du cyanure, avec lequel il se combine pour former des sels d’or. 2, record 3, French, - agent%20chimique%20r%C3%A9actif
