Chemicals used in mining and processing minerals contaminate the land, water, and air, causing health problems for workers and people living near mines. Toxic chemicals used in mining include: cyanide, sulfuric acid, and solvents for separating minerals from ore; nitric acid; ammonium nitrate and fuel oil (“ANFO”) used in blasting tunnels
Mining chemicals represent a niche area of supply but at the same time their use is almost universal across the industry. In this month’s im-mining Spotlight Feature Article, from the June issue of International Mining magazine, Editor Paul Moore looks at
Placer mining is the technique by which gold that has accumulated in a placer deposit is extracted. Placer deposits are composed of relatively loose material that makes tunneling difficult, and so most means of extracting it involve the use of water or dredging.
The expansion of gold mining in the Rand of South Africa began to slow down in the 1880s, as the new deposits being found tended to pyritic ore.The gold could not be extracted from this compound with any of the then available chemical processes or technologies. In 1887, John Stewart MacArthur, working in collaboration with brothers Robert and William Forrest for the Tennant Company in Glasgow
Orica’s technical team has extensive industry experience in gold processing and flotation, delivering a wide range of reagents and services to the global mining industry.
Solvay is the leading solutions provider and partner to the mining industry. We leverage more than 100 years of industry knowledge, applications expertise and on-site technical support to optimize mining operations worldwide in mineral processing, mineral refining and solvent extraction.
Gold: Cyanide is used for leaching gold. This leaching has been banned in Montana, thanks to the heroic efforts of Montana Environmental Information Center who led a twice-won, citizen- initiated law banning cyanide heap-leach mining in Montana.
Petrolite, Nottingham Chemical’s industrial mineral products, and Inspec (Chile) Mining Chemicals product lines in 1998 and 1999. These acquisitions have significantly expanded our product lines in sulfide and non-sulfide collectors, frothers, and defoamers. The Mining Chemicals Handbook was originally little more than a
Likewise, the mining equipment used today helps reduce waste and chemical exposure throughout the various phases of gold mining. The Basics of Gold Mining and Processing. Placer deposits, such as streambeds where people can pan for gold, are not the typical locations used by commercial gold mining companies. The process begins when geologists
The use of mercury in gold mining is causing a global health and environmental crisis. Mercury, a liquid metal, is used in artisanal and small-scale gold mining to extract gold from rock and sediment. Unfortunately, mercury is a toxic substance that wreaks havoc on miners’ health, not to mention the health of the planet.
The following pie charts show world consumption of mining chemicals by region and by type. The mining segment provides an interesting area for the chemical industry through acquisitions of chemical companies that are active in the area, but also through development of new products that help to improve the industry’s efficiency. The specialty

2018-06-25· Gold is a precious commodity and as a result, large scale extraction operations are prevalent. Gold mining has negative results. Soil erosion, the introduction of toxic chemicals
2017-04-25· Extracting the ore is not the only source of pollution in gold mining. Refining raw ore to remove impurities and concentrate the gold content usually involves caustic chemicals. One method involves dissolving the gold with a concentrated cyanide solution, allowing the resulting liquid to run away from the remaining ore and collecting it for
2018-10-23· Physical separation usually involves the difference in mass between gold and most of the other associated minerals. Once the gold is physically separated from the host material and of a relatively similar size it can be separated using a rotary bo...

Mercury, a liquid metal, is used in artisanal and small-scale gold mining to extract gold from rock and sediment. Unfortunately, mercury is a toxic substance that wreaks havoc on miners’ health, not to mention the health of the planet.
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;
