Gold Mining Chemicals Suppliers Turkey
At FKN Group Limited, we provide a wide range of high-quality Mining Chemicals to meet the diverse needs of industries across Turkey and worldwide.
Our gold process chemicals portfolio includes gold dressing agent and activated carbon manufactured by ourselves and other chemicals sourced from trusted Chinese manufacturers and produced to meet international standards for purity, safety, and performance, such as sodium cyanide.
Our Mining Chemicals is widely used in gold mining and processing, including
Specialty Collectors, Industrial Selective Collectors, Conventional Collectors, pH Adjuster, Depressants, Activator, Dispersant, Foaming Agent, Defoamer, Leaching Enhancer, Cyanide-Breaking Agent, Heavy Metal Removal Agent, Flocculant, Tailings Solidifier, Anti-scaling agent, Dust Suppressant, Resin, and Selective Metal Removal & Recovery chemical.
Gold Leaching agent includes Eco-friendly gold dressing agent (GDA) and Sodium Cyanide. As mercury-free gold leaching solution, we can offer Eco-friendly gold dressing agent and sodium cyanide.
Gold dressing agent is generally used for oxidation gold mine, illegal gold mine and gold mines located in sensitive areas such as water source supply, residential area, natural reserve and other situations which the gold miners can’t buy and use sodium cyanide legally. Its toxicity is much lower than that of sodium cyanide. Its waste water is much easier to process than that of sodium cyanide. It is widely used in China, South East Asia, Middle Asia, Latin America and Africa.
Sodium cyanide is generally used for large and non-oxidation gold mine.
Gold Absorption reagent includes activated carbon and resin.
Gold Collector includes Sodium/Potassium Amyl Xanthate, Sodium/Potassium Isobutyl Xanthate, Sodium/Potassium Butyl Xanthate, Sodium/Potassium Isopropyl Xanthate, Sodium/Potassium Ethyl Xanthate, Sodium Diethyl Dithiophosphate, Sodium Diisobutyl(Dibutyl、Disecbutyl)Dithiophosphate, Dithiophosphate 25, Dithiophosphate 25s, Dithioposphate 31 and Ammonium Dibutyl Dithiophosphate.
Gold Foaming Agent includes Methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) and Pine oil (2# oil).
Gold Activator includes Sodium Sulphide, Lead Nitrate and Copper Sulphate.
Gold pH Adjuster includes Caustic Soda, Hydrated Lime and Quick Lime.
Gold Dispersant includes Sodium Hexametaphosphate (SHMP), PAM, PAC and SPFS.
Gold dressing agent’s feature is very similar to that of sodium cyanide. Its leaching rate (recovery rate) and consumption is very similar to that of sodium cyanide for oxidation gold mine. Its use method is nearly same as that of sodium cyanide, but it is easier to use, store and transport than sodium cyanide. It can be used in CIP (carbon in pulp), CIL (carbon in leach), Heap leaching, pool leaching, vat leaching and etc.

We supply mercury-free and eco-friendly solution for gold mining in Turkey
Gold mining activities in Turkey have raised environmental concerns in several regions, primarily in the following areas:
Kışladağ Gold Mine (Uşak Province)
Operator: Tüprag, a Turkish subsidiary of Canadian Eldorado Gold.
Issues:
Water resource consumption and pollution: Open-pit mining consumes large amounts of groundwater and may use cyanide heap leaching, raising concerns among local residents about water source contamination.
Forest destruction: The mining area is located in a forest area, and mining leads to vegetation removal and habitat destruction.
Efemçukuru Gold Mine (Izmir Province)
Operator: Also operated by Tüprag.
Issues:
Tailings dam risks: Tailings dams may contain heavy metals and cyanide residues, which can contaminate soil and groundwater if not properly managed.
Seismic zone hazards: The mining area is located in a seismically active zone, raising questions about the safety of the tailings dam.
Çöpler Gold Mine (Erzincan Province)
Operator: Formerly operated by Canadian Alacer Gold (now SSR Mining).
Issues:
Cyanide leak incident: A serious cyanide leak occurred in 2022, polluting nearby rivers, damaging farmland, and triggering nationwide protests.
Long-term pollution risk: The mining area is located upstream of the Euphrates River, and pollution could affect transboundary waters.
Bergama Region (Izmir Province)
Historical controversy: Since the 1990s, local residents have continuously protested the use of cyanide at the Ovacık gold mine, launching multiple lawsuits and demonstrations.
Issues: Conflict between agriculture and mining, concerns about heavy metal pollution affecting olive groves and farmland.
Black Sea Region (Artvin, Rize, etc. provinces)
Issues: Planned gold mining projects (such as Cerattepe) are located in biodiversity-rich mountainous areas, potentially destroying forest ecosystems and habitats of endangered species.
Core issues of environmental controversy:
Cyanide use: Gold extraction widely uses cyanide heap leaching, posing a high risk of accidents (such as the Çöpler leak incident). Water Resource Conflicts: Water resources in arid regions (such as the Aegean Sea and Central Anatolia) are being heavily depleted, impacting agriculture and community water supply.
Legal and Regulatory Loopholes: Environmental assessments lack transparency, community participation is insufficient, and enforcement is questionable.
Ecosystem Destruction: Deforestation and mountain excavation lead to soil erosion and biodiversity loss.
Social Protests and Legal Actions
Civil Resistance: Environmental organizations (such as the "No Cyanide" movement), farmers, and local governments have repeatedly sued mining companies, demanding the revocation of mining permits.
International Concern: EU reports criticize Turkey's lagging environmental standards in the mining sector, particularly in water resource management and tailings disposal.
Government Stance
The Turkish government prioritizes mining as a key driver of economic growth, but in recent years, due to frequent accidents (such as the Kure incident), it has strengthened regulations. In 2022, the Mining Law was amended to increase fines, but the effectiveness of its implementation remains to be seen.
Countermeasures and Progress:
The root causes lie in the pollution risks of industrial mining and the unregulated nature of artisanal mining. The key to solving these problems lies in strengthening government regulation, promoting technological upgrades, encouraging community participation, and ensuring that a portion of mining profits is invested in environmental restoration, achieving a balance between resource development and ecological protection. The PANDA environmentally friendly, low-toxicity gold dressing agent manufactured by FKN Group Limited, through training, can effectively replace the use of mercury and sodium cyanide, contributing to the solution of environmental problems in Turkey's gold mining industry.
