MerrillCrowe Process, A Work In Progress
The MerrillCrowe process has been around since the early 1900''s, when it was discovered that when a cyanidegold solution had the dissolved oxygen reduced to 1 part per million, gold readily precipitated from solution, as the CN has a stronger attraction to zinc than gold, so it drops the gold and attaches to the zinc, leaving CNZn and Au.
