Details1. Introduction. Mining is responsible for worldwide environmental contamination by arsenic of surface water streams and groundwater. 20% of total As is released into the environment by the mining industry (Nriagu and Pacyna, 1988).Arsenic co-occurs with ammonium especially in gold mining where gold is associated with arseno-sulfidic minerals …
DetailsThe removal of arsenic from acidic aqueous conditions is usually achieved in mineral processing and metallurgical operations using lime. This strategy used by some mining companies for arsenic removal focuses on the formation of As 5+, a less toxic chemical species, providing improved environmental outcomes compared with As 3+.
DetailsMining activities mobilize the toxic elements into soils, surface water and groundwater thereby contaminating the human food chain. The process involves bioaccumulation in fish, vegetables, meat, and other animal-derived products. In 2023, Calao Ramos et al. (2023) found concentrations of As in the blood of Mojana inhabitants. This exposure was ...
DetailsMining, particularly the extraction and processing of ore, can lead to the release of arsenic into the environment. During the mining process, arsenic-laden rock is crushed and ground, increasing the surface area and thus the amount of arsenic that can be exposed to air and water. Moreover, some mining methods, such as gold leaching, use chemicals that can …
