Estimation of Mercury Losses and Gold Production by Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM)

Akihiro Yoshimura et al.

Summary: The study found that artisanal and small-scale gold mining using mercury for gold extraction is a major anthropogenic source of mercury emissions to the environment. There are significant differences in the ratio of mercury losses to gold production in ASGM among different regions, possibly due to the amalgamation procedures used by miners. The study also highlights the importance of considering the use of cyanidation in ASGM.

Opportunities for reducing mercury emissions in the cement industry

Krzysztof Kogut et al.

Summary: The cement industry is a major source of mercury emissions. By understanding the distribution of mercury in the production process, it is possible to reduce emissions and mercury content. Mercury concentrations vary in different stages, with ferrous additives having the highest mercury content. Performing mass balances helps determine mercury flows and emission indexes.
