Get priceSUSMIN – Tools for sustainable gold mining in EU. Gold mining has challenges in eco-efficiency and extraction methods (e.g. cyanide) and novel sustainable methods and technologies for mineral processing, water treatment and management of environmental and social impacts are needed. This will be addressed by the three year long project SUSMIN.
Get priceEnvironmental impacts of mining largely depend on the methods used and the geological context that governs how easily the minerals can be separated from the ore material. Unlike gold mining, which often uses potentially toxic chemicals such as mercury and cyanide, gemstone mining does not depend on chemicals for extraction of the rough material.
Get price· Modern gold mining involves excavating a series of geologic veins that are rich in gold. Then the rocks are pulled to the surface to be ground into dust. Large boulders can result in just a few teaspoons of gold powder. After the powder is melted down you get the
Get priceIt''s very much possible to make mining more environmentally sustainable. All we have to do is to develop and integrate practices that reduce environmental effects resulting from mining operations. Think about using underground mining technology that has a low energy consumption rate instead of working with machines that are not fuel efficient.
