Video How To Retort Mercury

      Result of the amalgamation process will leave the mercury in the gold mineral content, and therefore we have to do retort mercury to separate gold and mercury metal, prior to the melting process. This is a simple video, how to work the mercury retort process, in which the separation of the metal results from the amalgamation with mercury. And this is the simplest way that can be used in the process of using a mercury retort stainless pipes, if you are away from the retort equipment sales are sold on the market.

     In the retort process, the combustion in the pipe runs approximately 10 minutes, then slowly the mercury will drop down into the pot which had contained water. Where the results of the retort process is able to separate the mercury content in the metal, prior to the smelting process. To see in detail the equipment in this gold mercury retort you can visit other pages of this site.

And keep in mind that in the metallic mineral processing, you should always use a mask as a safety device.

Retort Mercury Gold

    Mercury gold retort is a process of separation between the metals gold and mercury from the amalgamation. The process of gold from the mercury amalgamation will leave mineral deposits of mercury in the gold is caught, then it needs to be done from a mercury retort process before the melting process. Perhaps the small-scale gold miners in traditional or not many people know how this separation process, and many of them are direct results of the smelting process amalgamation, but the way they are doing is very dangerous and endanger the safety of their lives as if the melting process carried out simultaneously, the gas fumes from the mercury vapor will be inhaled and enter the body.

       To remove all dissolved metals or incorporated by mercury, then you have to retort or a filter. Before the gold mineral smelting process, verify if the content of mercury in minerals that blend with the mercury is lost, and to filter takes a retort. To get around that mercury contained in a gold metal was bound to disappear, then you can get around by following the simple retort.

Mercury In Gold Mining

    Mercury is denoted by Hg, an acronym of Hydragyrum which means liquid silver. Mercury is a metallic element which is in group II B in the periodic system, with atomic number 80 and mass number 200.59. The metal mercury is produced naturally and is obtained from ore processing, Cinabar, with oxygen (Palar; 1994). The metal mercury is produced, used in the synthesis of inorganic compounds and organic compounds that contain mercury. In everyday life, mercury is in three basic forms, namely: metallic mercury, inorganic mercury and organic mercury. Mercury (Hg) is one type of metal found in nature and are scattered in the rock, ore mines, land, water and air as inorganic and organic compounds. Mercury is one of the basic elements of chemical and heavy metal is a liquid which under normal circumstances silvery, not smelling with a molecular weight of 200.59. Mercury is not soluble in water, alcohol, ether, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen.History of Mercury has been found in Egypt in ancient tomb relics century 1500 BC, and may be used for cosmetic and medicinal purposes. Around 350 BC, Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle explains how to take the mercury by heating cinnabar rocks for religious ceremonies. In Rome, mercury is used for various purposes and give it a name hydrargyrum, which means liquid silver into the origin of the chemical symbol for mercury is Hg. Mercury Amalgamation was first to cultivate the patio process of silver by the year 1557 in Mexico who made ​​the request of mercury is greatly increased. Mercury barometer was invented by Torricelli in 1643, followed by the discovery of the use of mercury in the thermometer by Fahrenheit in 1714.

Amalgamation Process Gold

The processing of gold-making Amalgamation is a process of extraction of gold in rocks containing the gold content of ore by using a chemical binder Mercury (Hg) as a catcher ore minerals. This amalgam process is the most simple and cheapest is usually used by small-scale miners, but on a large scale is not very effective and very expensive.

The use of mercury in amalgam process was first used in 1828, despite the widespread use of new techniques is prevented due to the toxic nature of mercury. Around 1895, experiments conducted by GV Black showed that amalgam is safe to use, although 100 years later, scientists are still debating.

In the  Process Of Amalgamation is a common tool used is the drum machine as a means of smoothing the rock minerals and metals by mercury capture elements in rocks that are processed. This process is a process of chemical physics, product formed is the bond between the gold-silver and mercury are known as amalgam (Au - Hg).

Mercury will form amalgams with all metals except iron and platinum. when the amalgam is heated, it will break down into elements of mercury and alloy. Amalgam can be decomposed by heating in a retort, the mercury will evaporate and can be recovered from the condensation of mercury vapor. While the Au-Ag still remained in the retort as a metal.
  

Reagent Flotation

Flotation reagent is the most important thing in a flotation process, in which this reagent is needed for removal of mineral concentrates that will be done. Basically the flotation process depends completely on the adhesion properties of certain minerals to air (hydrophobic), and to water (hydrophilic), and therefore the addition of chemical substances in the form of reagent.

Any one of various chemical substances that govern and regulate most flotation processes. The introduction of flotation reagents into the liquid phase of the pulp and subsequent adsorption along the liquid-gas and solid-liquid interfaces create conditions for the selective flotation of specific mineral particles. There are three principal types of flotation reagents: collectors, regulating agents, and frothing agents.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE FLOTATION REAGENT WHICH CAN BE USED IN THE FLOTATION PROCESS
