Heavy metals in contaminated ore processing areas present a risk of contamination of waters and life. Therefore, the most mobile fractions of metals, which can be evaluated by chemical extraction, require a special research attention. Classical reports using batchwise extraction methods are debatable in terms of real metal availability because naturally occurring …

Table 3 shows that Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, and Cr contents are equal to 425–526, 574–1134, 321–356, 0.72–4, and 99.69–576 ppm, respectively. These levels are far above the average concentrations in the limit values (150 ppm for the Cu, 150–300 ppm for Zn, 50–300 ppm for Pb, 1–3 ppm for Cd, and 2.677 ppm for Cr) (Kouame et al. 2006). The ...
The processing of fine dust from copper smelters in Kazakhstan is an urgent task. The currently used technology of hydrometallurgical dust processing, which involves leaching with sulfuric acid to produce lead cake and a solution containing copper and zinc, fails meet modern requirements. The significant content of arsenic in the dust (up to 15%) hinders the production …
Effluent samples were collected from a trickling filter treatment works operating in the UK and contained 21 ± 4 μg/L Cu, 0.8 ± 0.1 μg/L Pb, 4 ± 1 μg/L Ni and 43 ± 9 μg/L Zn.
ERAL Sand Plant & Equipment. Eral UK specializes in process engineering and equipment design for numerous industries, including mining, industrial minerals, coal, sand and aggregate …
Chen et al. roasted dust samples at lower temperatures to generate metal sulfates, then leached Cu, Zn and Cd from the calcined material with water, and finally recovered Pb by …
Fractionation and mobility of Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn in the road dust retained on noise barriers along expressway – A potential tool for determining the effects of driving conditions on speciation of emitted particulate metals ... apart from mineral components, may contain also a metallic phase. Disc brake abrasion is a source of Cu, Mn and Fe ...
Isotope ratios of Zn (A, expressed as δ 66 Zn JMC−Lyon), Cu (B, expressed as δ 65 Cu NIST−976), and Pb (C, expressed as 206 Pb/ 204 Pb) in the mineral dust samples studied in this work. Samples from the Taklimakan, Tengger and Badain Jaran deserts show the measured isotope ratios of the individual size fractions (gray shadows) as well as ...
can be improved by using the quarry dust and plastic wastes. Shubham Kothari et al. (2016) investigated the quarry dust provides good cohesiveness to the mix because of its high fineness and it also increases the demand of water which was observed. Micro filling ability is demonstrated by the use of quarry dust. Utilization of quarry dust in ...
A clean and efficient hydrometallurgical process was developed to recover Cu, Zn, Cd, Bi and Pb from the hazardous solid waste of copper smelting open-circuit (CSO) dust using the hazardous effluent of waste acid as leaching agent. By waste acid leaching-iron powder cementation, Cu was recovered as sponge copper.
Background Particles from non-exhaust emissions derived from traffic activities are a dominant cause of toxic metal pollution in urban environments. Recently, studies applying multiple isotope values using the Iso-source and positive matrix factorization (PMF) models have begun to be used as useful tools to evaluate the contribution of each pollution source in urban …
