Gravity Borax Method GBM Mercury Free Gold Recovery 911
The Gravity-Borax Method GBM is still unknown to most Artisanal and small-scale gold miners (ASGMs) worldwide as most still use mercury to extract gold. “Whole-ore amalgamation” is a technique that requires the use of 10–25 g of mercury to produce 1 g of gold.Within the last eight years, it has become evident that this technique Mercury pollution caused by small-scale gold mining. Small-scale miners use mercury to extract gold as it is simple to use and ensures a relatively high gold recovery rate [7]. Between 1 and 2 g of mercury are required to extract 1 g of gold, depending on miners' extraction methods and the ore.A matter of approach: the retort's potential to reduce mercury

The impact of artisanal gold mining, ore processing and mineralization
An inventory of mercury in Colombia for 2011 estimated that 140 metric tons of mercury are released into the environment each year from artisanal and small-scale mining (Brooks, 2012). Not only are non-mercury gold extraction processes more environmentally friendly; gold recovery is potentially much higher (García et al., 2015).Occupational Health Programs for Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining: A Systematic Review for the WHO Global Plan of Action for Workers’ Health October 2019 Annals of Global Health 85(1):128(PDF) Occupational Health Programs for Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold

Simulation-Based Analysis of Hydrometallurgical Processes. Case
In this work, two hydrometallurgical processes for gold recovery are explored for a small-scale gold mining case study located at Ponce Enriquez, Azuay, Ecuador. The hydrometallurgical systems consider the use of sodium cyanide and sodium thiosulfate as leaching agents, with and without the incorporation of a subsystem for residual mercury Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the leading global source of anthropogenic mercury (Hg) release to the environment. Top-down mercury reduction efforts have had limited results, but a bottom-up embrace of cyanide (CN) processing could eventually displace mercury amalgamation for gold recovery.Transitional dynamics from mercury to cyanide-based processing

Flotation as a separation technique in the coal gold agglomeration process
It is thus imperative that a new free gold recovery process becomes available to the small-scale gold mining community. This paper deals with the optimisation of such a process, called the coal gold agglomeration (CGA) process, which was developed some years ago by the British oils and Minerals Company.Background. More than ten million small-scale miners (SSM) worldwide use mercury to extract gold, releasing large amounts of the toxic element into the environment. Alternatives to mercury have been suggested over the years to little avail. A group of miners in the Philippines has demonstrated that borax, when used as a flux for smelting gold out of The Borax Method of Gold Extraction for Small-Scale Miners
