As the case in other African countries, Tanzania has been attracting investors in the mining of gold and has provided significance contributions to the national economy. These include provision of education facilities, employment, water, road network improvements, provision of soft loans to local people and health services. Nevertheless, such large scale mining industries come with some detrimental environmental effects which impact the livelihoods and health of the communities including polluting water resources. The pollutant like Gold, Nickel, Chromium, Copper and Lead are largely responsible for aforesaid issues. Although mining provides enormous social and economic benefits to the nation, the long term adverse effects on the environment and public health cannot be overlooked. Mining, mineral processing and metallurgical extraction are the three principal activities of gold mining industries which produce wastes. Mineral processing also known as beneficiation aims to physically separate and concentrate the ore minerals using physical and chemical techniques. Large quantity of wastewater is produced during these activities which is release to the environment. Heavy metal pollution like Zn, Ni, Pb, AS, Cu, Cd, Co, Hg and acid mine drainage is a very important environmental concern due to waste materials containing metal rich sulfides from mining activity . This is a dire need to remove these contaminants via suitable technology. In this regard, adsorption technology can be a good choice for field scale application.
