The invention discloses a method for making
potassium auric
cyanide, which uses potassuim
cyanide and metallic gold as raw materials and matches the gold per
kilogram with 1020-1030 grams of the potassuim
cyanide. The method comprises the following: 1) a step of pressing gold, which is to roll the gold into a thin gold sheet as an
electrode; 2) a step of electrolyzing, which is to carry out
electrolysis reaction in a diaphragm electrolyzer with the thin gold sheet as an
anode, a stainless steel sheet as a
cathode and a potassuim cyanide solution as
electrolyte, so as to gradually dissolve the thin gold sheet as the
anode into Au(CN)2<->; 3) a step of purifying, which is to purify
potassium auric cyanide generated in
electrolysis through a low-temperature cooling
crystallization method after the thin gold sheet is completely dissolved; 4) a step of condensing; 5) a step of purifying repeatedly; 6) a step of condensing; 7) a step of
drying, which is to bake
potassium auric cyanide crystals in vacuum so as to get a finished product. The adoption of the method shortens
electrolysis time, reduces purifying times, and improves the quality and yield of potassium auric cyanide.
