The technique of adsorption of cyanide ions on foam bubbles was studied as an alternative to chemical oxidation which is practiced in cyanide waste treatment. The technique of foam fractionation was previously applied to the removal of heavy metals and proved to be successful. The free cyanide ions and complex species both responded positively to the formation of a separate foam phase. The results obtained so far show that satisfactory separation of cyanide compounds is possible if certain parameters are properly selected. There are other factors which have not been investigated before, and they seem to have a major role in the performance of this operation.
