Mercury cycle in a typical Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining process
Numbers represent key steps in the ASGM process: 1—excavation, 2—crushing and grinding, 3—sifting/shanking, 4—washing/sluicing, 5—amalgamation, and 6—burning. Letters represent key steps in the mercury cycle: A—residual mercury from amalgamation may be discarded in local soil and water; B—volatilization of elemental mercury into the atmosphere; C—oxidation of elemental mercury; D—deposition onto local terrestrial systems; E—deposition onto local aquatic systems; and F—methylation of inorganic mercury to methylmercury.
