Objectives: To establish whether a specific community in a gold mining area, with potentially associated small-scale gold mining activities, was exposed to mercury. Methods: The community was situated in Mpumalanga, where some potential sources of mercury emissions may have an impact. Adults >or=18 years were considered eligible. Biological monitoring, …
أكمل القراءةThe impact of historical use of mercury (Hg) for the extraction of gold was assessed in watersheds from an abandoned mine in Randfonetin, a town located at 45 km west of Johannesburg (South Africa), which has a long history of gold mining, and its surroundings.The majority of analyzed waters at the site were acidic with pH ranging between 2.9 and 5.0.
أكمل القراءةA study of gold (Au) mining areas in Tanzania is being undertaken to assess environmental impacts arising from the use of mercury (Hg) in gold extraction. Initial results already indicated the presence of elevated Hg concentrations in environmental samples from the mining areas.

أكمل القراءةSouth Africa second biggest global contributor of mercury emissions. In 2006 it was reported that mercury emissions in South Africa were second only to China, contributing more than 10% of global mercury emissions. This was reportedly mainly from coal combustion (releasing the mercury that occurs naturally in coal) and gold mining.

أكمل القراءةHow Mercury Is Used in Gold Mining. First, mercury is mixed with the materials containing gold. A mercury-gold amalgam then is formed because gold will dissolve in the mercury while other impurities will not. The mixture of gold and mercury is then heated to a temperature that will vaporize the mercury, leaving behind the gold.
أكمل القراءةGold mining operations in South Africa mainly use the MacArthur Forrest process that uses cyanide instead of mercury amalgamation for extraction (Naicker et al., 2003). However, there are traces of Hg in the ore that could be released during processing but the overall emission is considered small ( Leaner et al., 2009 ).

أكمل القراءةMercury is a silvery metal that is liquid at room temperature. It is used in gold mining to extract gold from rocks. A puddle of mercury is poured onto a pile of crushed rock. The mercury and the rock are then mixed. Any gold will leave the rock and stick to the mercury to form blobs. The mercury is then blowtorched and it evaporates (turns ...
