Cyanide is a natural substance present in various forms in the environment, including fruits, nuts, plants, and insects. Cyanide is utilized in various industries, where it is handled safely and does not damage the environment, in spite of its harmful nature.

Cyanide is a useful industrial chemical, over one million tons of which are used annually in applications such as electroplating, metal processing, the production of organic chemicals and plastics, and photographic applications. Gold mining processes utilize cyanide to dissolve and separate gold from ore. An earlier technique for separating gold ore utilized liquid mercury, while cyanide extraction is a significantly safer method.

Despite the safety of the process, the cyanide itself is highly toxic to humans, especially in large doses. Exposure to cyanide causes suffocation, which may result in death if left unattended. Long-term exposure to cyanide can cause cassava and depressed thyroid function. Due to the severe negative health effects of cyanide, appropriate air pollution control methods and techniques need to be implemented in facilities where cyanide is used.

Cyanide can also occur as a byproduct of the gold mining leach process in the form of hydrogen cyanide. Multi-vortex wet air scrubber was used to absorb HCN at a gold mining facility. The client previously employed wet air scrubbers that used pure concentrated Calcium Hydroxide, which is excessively costly. Moreover, due to the frequent clogging of the wet scrubber, the Calcium Hydroxide was not used efficiently, which led to an increase in the scrubber upkeep costs.

The old wet air scrubbers were replaced with a Multi-vortex wet air scrubber that provided the same air treatment quality as traditionally used wet air scrubbers utilizing lime milk instead of Calcium Hydroxide. Multi-vortex wet air scrubber can utilize low-quality cleaning liquid that could be prepared on-site and could contain even small rocks of lime.

Multi-vortex wet air scrubber is a new type of wet air scrubber that is devoid of many wet air scrubber’s drawbacks while operating at the same efficiency. Multi-vortex wet air scrubber can replace any wet air scrubber as a whole, and in some cases, we can use old scrubber – primarily it’s body – as a basis for a Multi-vortex wet air scrubber system. Being a new type of wet scrubber, Multi-vortex wet air scrubber cleans air from gases, dust, vapors and other admixtures using water or other cleaning liquid. Multi-vortex wet air scrubber produces the cleaning mist differently from other scrubber systems, which results in running costs that are much lower than for a common wet scrubber.
