Mercury and Cyanide Contaminations in Gold Mine

Environment and Possible Solution of Cleaning Up by Using

Phyto extraction

In the next scientific article we will talk about the contamination by mercury and
cyanide in the waters and that has been a concern for the residents of the area
the area around the gold mine is the most frequent since it is a submissive
environment To heavy metals and cyanide since this has increased large-scale
soil pollution either small-scale mining or large-scale industrial mines in the
results it was found that most of the rivers and others were contaminated by the
gold mine It was also found that six rivers surveyed in ponkor gave
contaminated the study that was carried out in small-scale mines that were
abandoned as the mine of pongkor bogor and cicotok according to the car it is
necessary to take drastic measures to solve this problem.

The area around the gold mine is one of the most frequent, since it is a critical
environment subject to contamination by heavy metals and cyanide. The
degraded environment due to the activities of the gold mine has recently
increased excessively. Soil and water contaminated with mercury and cyanide
due to both small-scale public mines and large-scale industrial mines have been
of concern to residents of the area.

The results of the study revealed that the contamination of Mercury increases
with the increase in gold mine activities. There were some positive relationships
between the Hg Concentration in water or the concentration of Hg in the
sediment.
