Modern commercial hardrock mines are massive operations in some cases displacing and processing over 200 000 tons of gold-bearing ore per day. In addition to the direct ecological disruption of mining on this scale much of the gold mined this way is found in sulfur-bearing rocks. These rocks when disrupted by mining can produce

The two gold refining methods most commonly employed to derive pure gold are the Miller process and the Wohlwill process. The Miller process uses gaseous chlorine to extract impurities when gold is at melting point impurities separate into a layer on the surface of the molten purified gold. The Miller process is rapid and simple but it
