Introduction of Mercury-free Gold Extraction Methods

The mercury-free gold extraction method has been successfully introduced in other countries, but mainly in very small-scale mining communities. Materials and methods: The targets in Bolivia were medium-scale miners processing over a hundred tons of ore per day. The chosen gold ores proved amenable to gold extraction using mercury-free extraction.

Gold Extraction - an overview ScienceDirect Topics

Qualitatively, however, the degree of mercury pollution in the Beni-Madeira river basin is likely to increase in the future as a result of Bolivia's current political and economic instability and the high prices for gold, which when combined are likely to promote gold extraction and localized deforestation. A wider range of commodities are mined within the Rio Pilcomayo basin, and the future of mining is likely to vary

Introduction of Mercury-free Gold Extraction Methods

Background Artisanal and small-scale miners in Bolivia release on the order of 120 tons of mercury annually. The mercury finds its way to the Amazon with catastrophic consequences for the biosphere. A project aimed at reducing the release of mercury was carried out in 2013 and 2014. Objectives The project had two objectives: to test whether the mercury-free gold extraction method could be an ...

Gold Extraction - an overview ScienceDirect Topics

The increase in gold extraction can be attributed to increases in residual Cu(II) in solution with increasing pH value resulting from the increase in free NH 3 (Senanayake, 2004a,b).Leaching at a higher pH value can also be beneficial in improving silver extraction and stabilizing silver in solution.
