Keeping the costs down and the process efficiency up!
Ensuring the minimum concentrations of cyanide
While considered highly dangerous, cyanide is also extremely useful in metal extraction and plating baths due to the solubility of the complexes it creates with the likes of gold and copper.
As regulations around the use of cyanide increase, so too does the cost of cyanide for processing, not to mention the cost of waste management.
Ensuring the minimum concentrations of cyanide are used while keeping the extraction process at an optimum level is becoming more of a challenge for process engineers every year.
Potentiometric titration provides a fast accurate analysis of cyanide, and other important extraction components, makes the balancing of extraction efficiency vs. chemical costs a simpler tightrope to walk.
