Arsenic (As) contamination of gold mine tailings poses major threats to the natural environment and human health, necessitating adequate management measures. To investigate the soil As contamination level and the potential of pioneer plants for As remediation, the soil and plants of an abandoned gold mine tailings in the Qinling …

1. Introduction. Historic gold (Au) mine sites exist throughout the world as a result of legacy activities. These sites are numerous and are typically associated with elevated concentrations of arsenic (As) due to the association of both As and Au with sulphidic phases in primary ores.

Arsenic contamination has been come across as the adverse problem in the area surrounding gold mine at Wangsaphung District, Loei Province, Northeast Thailand since starting operation in 2006. Determination of arsenic in surface water by responsible agencies found that the concentration was very low, less than 0.01 mg/l designated by …

The emission and accumulation of toxic elements such as arsenic in various environmental compartments have become increasingly frequent primarily due to anthropogenic actions such as those observed in agricultural, industrial, and mining activities. An example of environmental arsenic contamination in Brazil exists in the city …

Arsenic (As)-contaminated gold mine waste is a global problem and poses a significant risk to the ecosystem and community (e.g., carcinogenic, toxicity). Arsenic concentrations of 77,000 mg/kg and 22,000 mg/kg in mine waste have been reported for Canada and Australia, respectively. Research is investigating environmentally …

Arsenic and antimony concentrations in water and sediment samples collected from Prestea, a gold mining town in the Western Region of Ghana and its environs were studied. The concentrations of these elements were measured using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). INAA was preferred to other modern …

Some soils in the Yueliangbao gold mining area have been contaminated by heavy metals, resulting in variations in vegetation. Hyperspectral remote sensing provides a new perspective for heavy metal inversion in vegetation. In this paper, we collected ground truth spectral data of three dominant vegetation species, Miscanthus floridulus, …

Arsenic and Gold Mine Tailings FAQ What is arsenic? Arsenic is a natural element that can be found distributed throughout the Earth's crust. It is found in arsenopyrite, the same rock in which gold is often embedded. Many areas of Nova Scotia have elevated arsenic levels, not just the gold mine tailing sites. How did arsenic get into the ...
اقرأ المزيدPrevious studies show the importance of iron- and arsenate-reducing bacteria in mobilizing arsenic in groundwater. Here the authors present experimental evidence of arsenic mobilization in connection with bacterially mediated manganese reduction in groundwater affected by mining activities. Manganese-reducing Pseudomonas species …
