We all know that gold is extracted from mines. In the form of small pieces or grains, it is found in rocks and soil collected from flowing water. There are many mines in the world, where expert people work. For this they are given special training. But today we are going to tell about a village where people extract gold from the soil. This village is present in India, not abroad. Let us know their story.
You will see people extracting gold from the soil in the villages near Srikalahasti area in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. These people have been doing this work for many generations. Actually, there are many famous shops in big cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai, where gold jewelery is made. While making jewellery, dust, clay and many other things get wasted. These people buy these useless things. Then the work of extracting gold from them begins.
turn clay into gold
Villagers say that with the help of mercury they convert clay soil into gold. But what is the whole process? First, we mix mercury in clay soil and make small balls of it and keep it to dry for 2-3 days. Then they are made like cakes, heated and sent to the machine. There this cake-like soil is dried and cooled for one more day. 2 women work to separate gold and mercury from these.
baked in oven
The gold obtained from the garbage is put in a glass vessel and then it is baked in a furnace. Then an acid is added to it and heated. In this process, copper-brass and other impurities dissolve in acid, after which pure gold comes out. However, there is also a game of luck in this. Because many times the more mercury is mixed, the more gold is not obtained. Sometimes 1 gram is available and sometimes 2 grams. Many times even this is not available. In such a situation, the cost of purchasing soil and processing it is quite high.
