Mercury is frequently used to capture the gold rather than mercuryfree gravity separation techniques in cases in which the gold grain is very fine. 20d 21 In each trommel it is common to add between 0.3 and 1 kg of mercury to 20 kg of crushed ore Figure 2 B. 20d The mercurygold amalgam is dense and separates from the finer crushed
2011-1-27I printed an article showing how it was a safer process to eliminate Mercury from the process and to separate gold from black sand by simply using Borax as a flux and heating the gold to melt it. Gold being heavier drops to the bottom the black sand forms a crust that is just burned off
Read MoreIn the past mercury was commonly used for final cleanup but with our current knowledge about the dangers plus the invention of these excellent fine gold separation tools mercury really isnt need for gold mining like it once was. Using the process described above will work extremely will for the needs of most gold prospectors

Contrary to common assumption that communities closest to mining bear the brunt of exposure new evidence shows that the highest non-occupational mercury exposures occur in native communities hundreds of kilometers away from mining
