· IntroductionGold and silver mining in North Central and South America and in Australia which used mercury amalgamation to extract the precious metals is estimated to have released approximately 156 000 Mg of mercury into the atmosphere and over 250 000 Mg of mercury into the environment between 1580 and 1900 Nriagu
·A high pressure laboratory elution rig was commissioned to simulate industrial Zadra and AARL elution conditions for the stripping of gold silver and mercury from loaded activated carbon It was found that cyanide was essential for the efficient elution of both mercury and silver while gold was found to elute most effectively in hot low ionic
3 ·Mercury is often obtained as a by product during the process of gold mining Some other natural alloys of mercury have also been found including potarite with palladium gold amalgam and moschellandsbergite with silver but these are extremely rare Physical characteristics Mercury is a silver white dense metal with a mirror like

·Hydrargyrum comes from Greek words for "water silver" hydr means water argyros means silver Mercury is a very rare element in the Earth s crust It accounts for only about parts per million ppm and is mainly found in the mineral cinnabar which is mercuric sulfide Mercuric sulfide is the source of the red pigment called vermilion
·Disk UMEs with various diameters and cores were fabricated including carbon fiber 7 and 11 μm gold 10 and 25 μm platinum 10 and 25 μm silver 25 μm and mercury 25 μm
·You may assume the valences of the chemical elements—the number of electrons with which an atom will bond or form—are those that can be derived by looking at the groups columns of the periodic table While these are the most common valences the real behavior of electrons is less simple

·2 Historical use of mercury amalgamation in gold and silver mining Mercury "wets" and adheres to metallic gold and silver forming pasty amalgams This property has been optimized into a reliable technique for concentrating and exlracting gold and silver from low grade ores
·To address the requirement of ultra sensitive detection of trace mercury II Hg 2 ions in the environment and food we developed an electrochemical biosensor with super sensitivity extremely high selectivity and biosensor comprised two signal amplification components a three dimensional macroporous
Epithermal gold silver deposits are vein stockwork disseminated and replacement deposits that are mined primarily for their gold and silver contents; some deposits also contain substantial resources of lead zinc copper and or mercury These deposits form in the uppermost parts of the crust at depths less than about 1 500 meters below the water
Due to its inherent characteristics mercury contamination from gold mining is a major environmental problem compared to past mercury contamination from industrial point sources The worsening of social economical conditions and increasing gold prices in the late 1970s resulted in a new rush for gold by individual entrepreneurs for whom Hg
·Mercury is the only elemental metal that is liquid at room temperature Mercury is silvery white and slowly tarnishes in moist air It alloys with copper tin and zinc to form amalgams or liquid alloys Extremely rare natural alloys of mercury have also been found moschellandsbergite with silver potarite with palladium and gold
