Gold Mining and Submarine Tailings Disposal: Review and Case Study
Environmental impacts associated with submarine tailings disposal (STD) of gold mine wastes vary widely among the relatively few cases studied. The principal contaminants of concern surrounding most gold mines are arsenic, mercury, and cyanide, although ...

Characterization of Gold in Complex Historical Refractory Tailings for Enhanced Process Optimization
Historical gold tailings show promise as a secondary resource amid declining primary deposits, yet conventional cyanidation falls short, resulting in recoveries below 90%. An essential pre-treatment process is crucial for optimal recovery, contingent on understanding the complex mineralogy of the tailings.

Flotation of mercury from the tailings of the Agh-Darreh gold processing plant, Iran [PDF]
The feed ore to Agh-Darreh gold processing plant (Takab City, Iran) contains 2 ppm Au, 7 ppm Ag, and 120 ppm Hg. After cyanide leaching of the feed at pH 10.4, 80% of the total mercury (in the form of cinnabar and metacinnabar) goes to the tailings dam. In this research, separation of mercury from the tailings by flotation was investigated. The effects
