  • Cyanide and Cyanide Complexes in the Gold
    CYANIDE AND CYANIDE COMPLEXES IN THE GOLD- MINE POLLUTED LAND IN THE EAST AND CENTRAL RAND GOLDFIELDS, SOUTH AFRICA. Elysee Bakatula Nsimba (0700692R) A dissertation submitted to the faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2009 CHAPTER ONE ─ INTRODUCTION 1.1 The history of mining on the Witwatersrand Basin The metropolis of Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city and financial centre, owes its origin to the gold-bearing rocks of the Witwatersrand Basin (Figure 1.1). The basin-roughly oval in shape, approximately 350 km north east to south west direction and stretching over 150 km across-host seven major goldfields. Figure 1.1 The Witwatersrand basin (Viljoen and Reimold, 1999) 1 The gold-bearing conglomerate mined in the Witwatersrand Basin has a typical mineralogical composition of (Feather and Koen, 1975): • Quartz (70-90%); • Phyllosilicates (10-30%), consisting mainly of sericite, KAl 2(AlSi 3O10 )(OH) 2; • Accessory and minor minerals (1-5%). Some 70 different ore minerals have been identified in the conglomerates, the most abundant of which, after pyrite, are uranite (UO 2), brannerite (UTi 2O6), arsenopyrite (FeAsS), cobaltite (CoAsS), galena (PbS), pyrrhotite (FeS), gerdofite (NiAsS) and chromite (FeCr 2O4). Amalgamation Amalgamation was the principal gold recovery method used in South African gold mines at the start of mining in 1886. Crude amalgamation is still practiced by some artisanal gold miners in South Africa, mainly in the Mpumalanga Province. Unfortunately the method is in widespread use in some African countries (Sudan, Tanzania, D.R.

  • Calcium Cyanamide
    Calcium cyanamide 156-62-7 Hazard Summary Calcium cyanamide is used as a fertilizer, pesticide, and in the manufacture of other chemicals. It is irritating to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract in humans. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure may cause gastritis,rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, and tracheobronchitis. Acute oral exposure may cause a vasomotor reaction, resulting in intense flushing of the face, upper body, and arms. Tachycardia and hypotension have also been observed in humans following acute oral exposure. Chronic (long-term) occupational exposure has been reported to cause chronic rhinitis with perforation of the nasal septum in workers. EPA has not classified calcium cyanamide with respect to potential carcinogenicity. Please Note: The main sources of information for this fact sheet are the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB) (2), a database of summaries of peer-reviewed literature, and the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) (3), a database of toxic effects that are not peer reviewed. Uses Calcium cyanamide is used as a fertilizer, defoliant, herbicide, fungicide, and pesticide; in the manufacture and refining of iron; and in the manufacture of calcium cyanide, melamine, and dicyandiamide. (1,2,5) Sources and Potential Exposure Occupational exposure to calcium cyanamide may occur during its manufacture and use. (1) Assessing Personal Exposure No information was located regarding the measurement of personal exposure to calcium cyanamide. Health Hazard Information Acute Effects: Calcium cyanamide is irritating to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract in humans. Acute inhalation exposure may cause gastritis, rhinitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis, and tracheobronchitis. (1,2) Acute oral exposure of humans may cause a vasomotor reaction, resulting in intense localized erythematous flushing of the face, upper body, and arms, with headache, dizziness, fatigue, vertigo, congestion of the mucosa, nausea, and vomiting also reported.

  • NIH Chemical Waste Tag Guidance Tool Questions, Please Contact ORF/DEP at 301-496-7990
    NIH Chemical Waste Tag Guidance Tool Questions, Please Contact ORF/DEP at 301-496-7990 The Office of Research Facilities, Division of Environmental Protection has created a new chemical waste tag for the NIH Maryland Facilities to comply with the new EPA hazardous waste generator regulations. Instructions for filling out the new chemical waste tag can be found on the back of the tag: Step 1: Review Instructions on Back of Waste Tag (see image below): Step 2: Fill out Chemical Waste Identification Check Boxes on Front of Tag (image below): Choose the applicable chemical hazard labels on the tag (see the front of tag: checkboxes image below). Below is advice to help determine the hazards of the chemical wastes you generate. The new regulations require that you can show to a Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) or Federal (EPA) inspector how you chose the hazard(s) you checked on the tag. The resources available to identify your waste’s hazards are: - The sds (safety data sheet) of each hazardous chemical that is in the waste container (Priority Reference) - The hazard labels and warnings on the bottles that you used in generating the waste (Priority Reference) - NLM- PubChem https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ (Priority Reference) - Knowledge of the hazards from your research protocols and/or processes - Testing (pH paper is commonly used to determine whether the waste is corrosive – remember, pH paper only works if the waste contains some water) - Advice you receive from DEP In addition to these resources, below are examples of various chemical hazard classes and some examples of chemicals that have these hazards.
