4D dispersion of total gaseous mercury derived from a mining source: identification of criteria to assess risks related with high concentrations of atmospheric mercury
(Copernicus Publications, 2020-11-06)Mercury (Hg) is a global pollutant that can be transported long distances after its emission from primary sources. The most common problem of gaseous Hg in the vicinity of anthropogenic sources is its presence in inorganic ... -
A compilation of field surveys on gaseous elemental mercury (gem) from contrasting environmental settings in europe, south america, south africa, and china: separating fads from facts.
(2014)Mercury is transported globally in the atmosphere mostly in gaseous elemental form (GEM, Hg0gas), but still few worldwide studies taking into account different and contrasted environmental settings are available in a single ... -
Adsorption of biosolids and their main components on chalcopyrite, molybdenite and pyrite: Zeta potential and FTIR spectroscopy studies
(2015)Zeta potential measurements were used to assess the electrokinetic characteristics of chalcopyrite, molybdenite and pyrite in the presence of biosolids and their main components (humic acids, glucose and serum albumin) ... -
Assessment of the flotability of chalcopyrite, molybdenite and pyrite using biosolids and their main components as collectors for greening the froth flotation of copper sulphide ores.
(2014)Biosolids and representative compounds of their main components ? humic acids, sugars, and proteins ? have been tested as possible environment-friendly collectors and frothers for the flotation of copper sulphide ores. The ... -

Atmospheric mercury pollution around a chlor-alkali plant in Flix (NE Spain): an integrated analysis
(2015)An integrated analysis approach has been applied to a mercury (Hg) case study on a chlor-alkali plant located in the Ebro River basin, close to the town of Flix (NE Spain). The study focused on atmospheric Hg and its ... -
Biomonitoring of Hg0, Hg2 and Particulate Hg in a Mining Context Using Tree Barks+
(MDPI, 2021-05-13)The biomonitoring of atmospheric mercury (Hg) is an important topic in the recent scientific literature given the cost-benefit advantage of obtaining indirect measurements of gaseous Hg using biological tissues. Lichens, ... -
Characterization of the soil and rock hosting an aquifer with possible uses for drinking water and irrigation in SE Panama City using Geotechnical, Geophysical and Geochemical parameters
(Springer, 2022-05-07)The supply of water to populations is a basic need that has been threatened more frequently in recent years due to climate change, which renders seeking other sources of water essential. The hydrochemistry of the groundwater ... -
El cinabrio. Fuente del único metal pesado líquido.
(Asociación Española para la Enseñanza de las Ciencias de la Tierra, 2018-03-26)El mercurio es un elemento que frecuentemente es fuente de noticias. Ello se debe a que con relativa frecuencia se producen intoxicaciones relacionadas con su empleo. Por su parte, el cinabrio es la principal y prácticamente ... -
Consideraciones ambientales sobre el mercurio en el distrito minero de Almadén (Ciudad Real, España).
(2012)Los yacimientos de mercurio del Distrito minero de Almadén representan una singularidad mundial, al ser el único caso de un metal, el mercurio (Hg), que ha sido obtenido en una tercera parte de su producción mundial a ... -
Creación y visualización de mapas prospectivos de mercurio mediante técnicas de inteligencia artificial
(Sociedad Española de Mineralogía, 2021-03)La elaboración de mapas prospectivos, también conocidos como cartografía de la prospección mineral (en inglés Mineral Prospectivity Mapping, MPM), para ofrecer una herramienta de apoyo al trabajo de geólogos, ingenieros ... -
Determinants of exposure to mercury in hair from inhabitants of the largest mercury mine in the world.
(2011)Mercury exposure of the local population was assessed in two areas of the Almadén mercury mining district, Spain, which has been the world?s largest producer of this element. Two groups, who are exposed to different sources ... -
Distribution of gaseous hg in the mercury mining district of mt.amiata (central italy): a geochemical survey prior the reclamation project.
(2013)The Mt. Amiata volcano is the youngest and largest volcanic edifice in Tuscany (central-northern Italy) and is characterized by a geothermal field, exploited for the production of electrical energy. In the past Mt. Amiata ... -
Ecological and Health Risk Assessments of an Abandoned Gold Mine (Remance, Panama): Complex Scenarios Need a Combination of Indices
(MDPI, 2021-09-05)The derelict Remance gold mine is a possible source of pollution with potentially toxic elements (PTEs). In the study area, diverse mine waste has been left behind and exposed to weather conditions, and poses risks for ... -
