Recovery of gold from secondary sources—A review ...

2012-3-1 · The extraction of gold into DBC was optimized, which showed that gold could be effectively loaded into DBC up to 190 g/L Au. Only small amounts of other minor elements and impurities, such as Pt, Pd, Ag, Cu and Zn, were extracted into the DBC phase. Fe on the other hand has to be removed by pH adjustment to pH3, prior to solvent extraction.

Cyanide Use in Gold Mining - Earthworks

A sodium cyanide solution is commonly used to leach gold from ore. There are two types of leaching: Heap leaching: In the open, cyanide solution is sprayed over huge heaps of crushed ore spread atop giant collection pads. The cyanide dissolves the gold from the ore into the solution as it trickles through the heap.

The Mercury Problem in Artisanal and Small‐Scale Gold ...

2018-1-3 · The Mercury Problem in Artisanal Gold Mining. Mercury-based artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) causes more mercury pollution than any other human activity. 1 In this practice, mercury metal is used to extract gold from ore as a stable amalgam. The amalgam is then heated to evaporate the mercury and isolate the gold.
