A flow-injection multisensor system (FIMS) comprising potentiometric sensors of different types for determination of free cyanide activity in basic solutions for extraction of noble metals was developed. The solvent polymeric membrane sensors based on metalloporphyrin and crystalline sensors were combined in the sensor system. The system allowed determination of cyanide activity in the range 10 -4 -1 mol l -1 with an error less than 5% in individual cyanide solutions and acceptable precision (about 20%) in process liquids. The system was able to analyse up to 20 samples per h. The FIMS was also applied to detecting of silver ions in the presence of cyanide. Chalcogenide glass sensor was used as the detector that ensured the precision of 20%.
