X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the adsorption of gold cyanide on carbon in the presence or absence of electrolytes and acids proceeds by the same mechanism. Although the identity of the gold cyanide adsorbate is not known, the mechanism appears to have an initial adsorption stage that involves the adsorption of an ion pair: M(n+)[Au(CN)2(-)]n, where M(n+) is a metal ion (for example Na+, K+ and Ca(2+) that has a lower solubility than the Au(CN)2(-) anion in the adsorption medium, followed by a reduction step in which either a sub-stoichiometric Au(CN)x surface species or a cluster-type compound of gold is formed.

The mechanism of adsorption of aurocyanide onto activated carbon and its subsequent elution are examined in this study, with special reference to the effects of acid and alkali treatment on the system. The results, including a careful analysis of the distribution of all ions in the adsorption and elution processes, are discussed, and evidence for the adsorption and elution mechanisms involved is presented. It is proposed that, under normal plant conditions, aurocyanide is extracted onto activated carbon in the form of an ion pair, M(n+)[Au(CN)2(-)]n, and eluted by hydroxide or cyanide. The hydroxide or cyanide ions react with the carbon surface, rendering it relatively hydrophilic with a decreased affinity for neutral species. Additional adsorption mechanisms are shown to operate under other conditions of ionic strength, pH, and temperature, and it is suggested that this may account in part for the lack of agreement among workers.
