Finding accurate solutions to the Schrödinger equation is the key unsolved challenge of computational chemistry. Given its importance for the development of new chemical compounds, decades of research have been dedicated to this problem, but due to the large dimensionality even the best available methods do not yet reach the desired accuracy. …
The cyanide process, which is also known as the Macarthur-forest process, is widely used in extracting gold or silver from the ores by dissolving them in a dilute solution of potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide. This process was introduced in the year 1887 by Scottish chemists named Robert W. Forrest, John S. MacArthur and William Forrest.

Extraction of Mercury: Cinnabar (HgS), a sulphide ore, is the most common mercury ore.The following steps can be used to extract the metal (Hg) from the ore. Step 1: In the air, roast concentrated mercury (II) sulphide ore. Roasting is the process of turning a sulphide ore into its equivalent metal oxides by rapidly heating it in the presence of air. . As a result, concentrated …

Elsner's equation is generally accepted as expressing the action of gold in dilute cyanide solutions; 4 Au + 8 KCN + O2 + 2 H2O = 4 KAu (CN)2+ 4 KOH. Thus, when fresh surfaces of gold are exposed to the action of cyanide in an aqueous solution containing free oxygen, a gold cyanide compound will be formed and a hydroxide (alkaline).

Gold extraction process in a CIL circuit was modeled and simulated. A dynamic model for the CIL circuit was developed and used to study the variation in gold concentration in the liquid and on carbon. The impact of various process parameters on the residual gold in the ore was studied.
Iron is one of the major constituents of the rocks in the Earth's crust and is always present in varying degrees in sedimentary formations. It is ranked fourth in terms of the quantity of all the elements occurring (Smith, 1990) and has been mined in small quantities at a vast selection of sites in many countries to feed the localized production of iron and steel.
We present a systematic approach for predicting the best solvents for selective extraction of components with unknown structure from complex mixtures (e.g., natural products)—a tool promising dramatic simplification of extraction process optimization. Its key advantage is that identification of the component(s) is unnecessary—prediction is based on a …
