Arsenic Factsheet. Arsenic, a naturally occurring element, can combine with either inorganic or organic substances to form many different compounds. Inorganic arsenic compounds are in soils, sediments, and groundwater. These compounds occur either naturally, or as a result of mining, ore smelting, or when using arsenic for industrial purposes.

Metal ore mining and its processing including copper, lead-zinc, gold, iron, etc., create adverse environmental effects. Mining ore mining involves the removal of large quantities of rock from the ground. Ore deposits in shallow depths are mined by surface mining methods. Surface mines produce large quantities of waste rock than underground mines.

Arsenic is a poisonous element found within minerals at many of the world’s copper mines. As a consequence of sulphide ore processing, arsenic is concentrated along with copper; this becomes more acute as the in-situ grade increases. The largest copper supply region in the world, Latin America, has high arsenic content in many of its ageing

Arsenic (As) is classed as a semi-metal, or metalloid. In nature it is commonly found as a metal in low levels in most soils and in higher concentrations associated with some copper, lead and zinc ores. The most common arsenic mineral is arsenopyrite, a compound of iron, arsenic, and sulfur. Type. Crystal System.

Arsenic and arsenic compounds have been produced and used commercially for centuries. Current and historical uses of arsenic include pharmaceuticals, wood preservatives, agricultural chemicals, and applications in the mining, metallurgical, glass-making, and semiconductor industries. Arsenic was used in some medicinal applications until the 1970s.

In Georgia, arsenic mining, processing and storage has been undertaken for up to 52 years at three sites referred to as Tsana 1, 2 and 3. All arsenic-related activities at the Tsana sites ended in 1992 and the arsenic facilities and arsenic materials were abandoned. Over 50,000 tons of waste have reportedly been stored in unprotected

Arsenic is a byproduct in smelting processes for many ores including gold, lead, cobalt, nickel, and zinc. Arsenic was previously used in herbicides, wood preservative treated products, many traditional remedies, as well as in, defoliants used in the distillation of process in beer, wine whiskey, and other alcohol-containing products.

The toxic element arsenic (As) occurs widely in solid and liquid mine wastes. Aqueous forms of arsenic are taken up in As-bearing sulfides, arsenides, sulfosalts, oxides, oxyhydroxides, Fe-oxides, -hydroxides, -oxyhydroxides and -sulfates, and Fe-, Ca-Fe- and other arsenates. Although a considerable body of research has demonstrated that microbes play a significant role in the precipitation
