Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Copper(I) cyanide (Cu(CN)) in the gold mine industry presents the biggest concern in cyanide management because it is much more stable than free cyanide. Cu(CN) is highly toxic to aquatic life; therefore, environmentally friendly techniques are required for the removal of Cu(CN) from gold mine effluent. The oxidation of Cu(CN) by iron(VI) (FeO , Fe(VI)) and iron(V) (FeO, Fe(V)) was studied using stopped-flow and premix pulse radiolysis techniques. The stoichiometry with Fe(VI) was determined to be 5HFeO + Cu(CN) + 8HO → 5Fe(OH) + Cu + 4CNO +3/2O + 6OH. The rate law for the oxidation of Cu(CN) by Fe(VI) was found to be first-order with each reactant. The rates decreased with increasing pH and were mostly related to a decrease in concentration of reactive protonated Fe(VI) species, HFeO . A mechanism is proposed that agrees with the observed reaction stoichiometry and rate law. The rate constant for the oxidation of Cu(CN) by Fe(V) was determined at pH 12.0 as 1.35 ± 0.02 × 10 M s, which is approximately 3 orders of magnitude larger than Fe(VI). Results indicate that Fe(VI) is highly efficient for removal of cyanides in gold mill effluent. © 2005 American Chemical Society.
