Mining extraction activities conducted underwater open pit or underground produce large quantities of waste containing heavy metals Biogenic sulfide technology on the other hand is a combination of biological and chemical methods and focuses on the treatment of wastewater and the recovery of metals The technology has been installed at
To extract gold from refractory sulfide ores the ore needs to be finely ground and preoxidation is often required The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Melbourne Gold in sulfide ores is associated predominantly with sulfide minerals and occurs as both microscopic and submicroscopic particles In non refractory sulfide
Operations and waste products associated with metal extraction and processing are the principal causes of environmental concerns about metal mining Concerns include they interact with the minerals and rocks exposed in the mine If sulfide minerals are present in these rocks especially pyrite the sulfides can oxidize and cause acid rock
The depletion of high grade gold ore reserves also causes high energy consumption and environmental impacts in the mining sector Jose Luis et al research reported that the oxidation of sulfide minerals greatly determined the extraction of gold from refractory extraction Sulfide oxidation of % and % resulted in gold
Sulfide mining specifically copper nickel sulfide mining represents a significant departure from Minnesota s iron mining tradition Sulfide mining can produce acid waste and sulfates that mobilize the release of heavy metals into the environment These metals include known neurotoxins such as lead and mercury Mining
As increased sulfide oxidation the gold and silver extractions were rapidly increased from only % gold extraction with silver extraction to over 90% gold extraction with 70 80% silver extractions The best results were achieved from 30 days of oxidation showing % sulfide oxidation % gold extraction and % silver extraction
The article presents the studies aimed to optimize and validate a mining flow chart for extraction of solid sulfide ore reserves from the Second Southern Lens with regard to the ore morphology and mode of occurrence The geology of the Second Southern Lens is represented by the upper Devonian overburden and the lower Tunguska series cut with differentiated intrusion of gabbro
Mining and processing of sulfide ores generates large volumes of waste materials that can have severe and widespread impacts on water resources España et al 2005 Concas et al 2006 Moncur et al 2006 Moncur et al 2014 Prez López et al 2011 Sulfide ore deposits host globally significant amounts of Cu Ni Zn Pb and other economically important metals
Despite these differences there are mining processes that have been developed to extract nickel from laterite ores in which total costs are getting equal to and being more competitive than sulfide ores and with demand for this metal increasing and declining discovery/production of sulfide deposits it will be necessary to increase
Mining and metallurgy have negative consequences for the environment 1‒3 and lead to changes in geological 4 and climatic conditions 5 Mining metallurgy operations include the extraction preparing of ores crushing ore and flotation processing of concentrates and the disposal of waste rock and by products The main waste in mining and metallurgy are
Hypochlorite leaching system is a strong oxidizing solution for metal sulfides which are naturally associated with gold extraction This study evaluated the hypochlorite leaching of refractory gold ore by using the response surface method central composite design RSM CCD as a statistical approach in determining the optimum condition of gold extraction from
Solvent Extraction of Non sulfide Zinc For a long time the main source for Zn metal production has been non sulphide Zn deposits until the early twentieth century when they were not as much used as a result of other techniques such as smelting and flotation being developed for Zn production from ZnS Recovery of Zinc from Mine
The xanthate collectors in the flotation process used for the extraction of copper from copper sulphide are sodium ethylxanthate SIPX and Sodium n butylxanthate etc The common aerofloat includes cresol aerofloat ammonium dibutyl dithiophosphate aerofloat 208 aerofloat 238 aerofloat 242 etc
1 Introduction Mineral resources provide an important material foundation for society development and national security Wu et al 2021 However the mining processes generate a large amount of tailings which is about 2 12 times of the metal extracted from the ore Jiang et al 2021 At present over 10 billion tons of mine tailings are produced globally each
Mining expansion and large scale water extraction dried up several water meadows and altered the region s ecological balance causing an active desertification process Bustos 1999; Castro and Martínez 1997 Intense water withdrawals alternated with periods of drought causing the death of numerous animals making the development of
The given work focused on solving the problem of environmental geochemistry related to investigation of element speciation their mobility and migration in polluted areas The purpose was to describe quantitatively migration distribution and redistribution of heavy metals by the example of the old tailings Talmovaya sands of the Lead Zinc Concentration Plant
Considering the importance of obtaining Sb and Bi from secondary resources in mining processes several authors have tried to extract them from the copper electrorefining solution using
The first recognized biomining operation was set up within 20 years of the discovery of the first species of bacterium that was demonstrated to catalyze the dissolution of pyrite and other base metal containing sulfide minerals in acidic liquors [12 13] In reality the same biological process had been unknowingly used to extract metals at mine sites in for
A possible process for extracting tellurium and antimony from a residue generated in alkaline sulfide leaching of tellurium bearing alkaline skimming slag was proposed The central composite design was employed to define the optimal leaching conditions for tellurium and antimony extractions from the residue sample Using a 23 factorial matrix the best
The techniques for extraction of copper from oxidized ores are quite different from those employed for the sulfide ores The oxidized ores consisting of the silicates carbonates and sulfates are treated by several methods all involving some form of leaching of the crushed ore with sulfuric acid to produce impure solutions of copper sulfate
The Australasian institute of mining and metallurgy spectrum series vol 13 Published by The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Google Scholar Souza AD Pina PS Leão VA Silva CA Siqueira PF 2007 The leaching kinetics of zinc sulfide concentrate in acid ferric sulfate Hydrometallurgy 89 72 81
The Toxic Legacy of Open Pit and Sulfide Mining Open pit and sulfide mining are among the most destructive forms of resource extraction leaving a trail of environmental devastation in their wake These mining activities don t just scar the land; they poison our air threatening the health of both humans and wildlife A Cocktail of Contaminants
