Gold Processing Britannica
Gold processing, preparation of the ore for use in various products For thousands of years the word gold has connoted something of beauty or value. These images are derived from two properties of gold, its colour and its chemical stability.The colour of gold is due to the electronic structure of the gold atom, which absorbs electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths less than 5600 angstroms.

Mercury Usage In Gold Mining And Why It Is A Problem
Jul 22, 2019 This process does not result in gold that is 100 pure, but it does eliminate the bulk of the impurities. The problem with this method is the release of the mercury vapor into the environment. Even if the equipment is used to catch the vapor, some still can get into the atmosphere. Mercury also can get into the soil and water if it still is.
