from Gold Mines: Acid Mine Drainage in Gauteng Province, South Africa Anthony Minnaar 1 Introduction In mines where, in particular, metal ores such as gold, silver and copper are mined, the accompanying sulphide minerals in the surrounding rock are exposed to water and air.

Water flowing through active or abandoned mine sites can become polluted by the material being mined[1]. By far the most common mine drainage problem is that of acid mine drainage (AMD). Sulfuric acid is produced when water …

This will require abnormally high levels of acid wash to remove the calcium. At a gold mine in the East Murchison area, in 1997, calcium carbonate levels were measured in excess of 60,000ppm requiring more than 140kg of 32% HCl/2 tonne batch of carbon to remove all the calcium which had built up over several years.

Mining activities can lead to the generation of large quantities of heavy metal, specifically arsenic which is released from a gold mine, causing widespread contamination of the ecosystem.

This article serves to discuss the fundamental aspects of gold recovery utilizing the Carbon-in-Pulp or Carbon-in-Leach processes. The purpose is to describe in simple terms what activated carbon is all about and how it adsorbs gold. The understanding of the mechanism of gold adsorption is important because the CIP/CIL processes work as

The gold after being washed is subjected to a second boiling with sulphuric acid, in the proportion of one of gold to eight of acid. It is boiled for about three hours. While still hot the gold is ladled out into a lead lined box, and washed with hot water until free from silver. After washing it is melted in crucibles, borax being added as a flux.

Acid washing to remove inorganic adsorbates. such as calcium; Elution to remove gold, silver, and base metals; Thermal regeneration to remove organic adsorbates and refresh active sites; In general, process operations manage the acid washing and elution stages well; however, the thermal regeneration process is often problematic.
