Problem statement
Amalgamation using mercury is the conventional process for recovering gold particles from concentrates in artisanal and small-scale operations. The concentrates are generally obtained by panning sands that are collected after ( ... )
ng. This process is widespread and very effective, and most miners know of no alternative method. The procedure consists of adding mercury to the black sand in the pan and rolling and rubbing it through the sand so that it gets into contact with the gold grains and sticks them together to form a gold mercury amalgam paste. After the gold has been removed, the black sands can subsequently be
