Contaminant leaching from gold mining tailings dams in
2015-10-1 1. Introduction. Acid mine drainage (AMD), resulting from the gold mining activities in the Witwatersrand, South Africa, has become the focus of intense study in recent years (Naicker et al., 2003, Cukrowska et al., 2004, Coetzee et al., 2010, Nengovhela et al., 2007, Tutu et al., 2008, Peretyazhko et al., 2009).This is mostly due to fears regarding the impacts from rising mine void water in ...

Gold Metallurgy and Leaching Process
2015-6-24 Leaching, often gold, is the process of extracting a soluble constituent from a solid by means of a solvent. In extractive metallurgy, of gold, it is the process of dissolving a certain mineral (or minerals) from an ore or a concentrate, or dissolving certain constituents from materials such as a calcines, mattes, scrap alloys, anodic slimes, etc., to achieve either one or two purposes:

Cyanide Use in Gold Mining - Earthworks
Cyanide's efficiency makes mining more wasteful. Because cyanide leaching is very efficient, it allows profitable mining of much lower ore grades. Mining lower grade ore requires the extraction and processing of much more ore to get the same amount of gold. Partially due to cyanide, modern mines are. much larger than before cyanide was used;

Cyanide hazards to plants and animals from gold mining
Cyanide extraction of gold through milling of high-grade ores and heap leaching of low-grade ores requires cycling of millions of liters of alkaline water containing high concentrations of potentially toxic sodium cyanide (NaCN), free cyanide, and metal-cyanide complexes. Some milling operations result in tailings ponds of 150 ha and larger.
