Arsenic is abundant in the earth's crust and has been found in more than 300 minerals in nature. As a compound with other elements such as oxygen, chlorine, and sulfur, arsenic is widely distributed in minerals and ores that contain copper or lead. ... In the smelting of copper or lead–zinc ore, larger amounts of acidic wastewater are ...

In Iran, mixed sulphide–oxide lead and zinc ores comprise about 10% of all the country's lead and zinc resources. There is great potential to exploit many well …

Arsenic is a metalloid element, which, like phosphorus, has two main forms. One is a brittle, gray metallic form and the other is a yellow, non-metallic solid. Yellow arsenic is the more reactive and unstable of the pair. Arsenic is stable, being unaffected by air, water, most acids and alkalis. Arsenic has no liquid phase; the solid sublimes ...

Pillai et al. proposed a sensitive spectrophotometric method for determining arsenic in various samples, including zinc ores. The method is based on the decoloration of the pinkish-red dye Rhodamine B upon the action of iodine, which is released in the reaction of potassium iodide with arsenic in a slightly acidic medium. ... including ore …

Arsenic and 5 heavy metals (nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium and lead) were quantitated in surface water (n = 18) and soil/ore samples (n = 45) collected from 5 land uses (oil palm converted from forest, oil palm in peat swamp, bare land, quarry and forest) in the Selangor River basin by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

This study proposes a strategy of using zinc slag to treat CSW from copper smelting. The Fe (Ⅱ) provided by the zinc slag as an in-situ iron donor is oxidized to Fe (Ⅲ) by H 2 O 2. Most of the arsenate is co-precipitated with Fe (Ⅲ), and a small amount of arsenic and ferrihydrite is fixed by complex adsorption.

World Resources: Arsenic may be obtained from copper, gold, and lead smelter flue dust, as well as from roasting arsenopyrite, the most abundant ore mineral of arsenic. Arsenic has been recovered from orpiment and realgar in China, Peru, and the Philippines; has been recovered from copper-gold ores in Chile; and was associated with gold

Arsenic comprises about 2–5 mg kg −1 of the Earth's crust. As a compound with other elements such as oxygen, chlorine, and sulfur, arsenic is widely distributed in minerals and ores that contain copper or …

The species of arsenic in secondary zinc oxide generated from fuming furnace were investigated. The results revealed that there are mainly three types of secondary zinc oxide based on three arsenic species. ... Valence variation of arsenic in bioleaching process of arsenic-bearing gold ore [J]. Transactions of Nonferrous Metals …

the type of ore used as a charge. In the pyromet-allurgical process, ore concentrate containing lead, zinc, or both is fed, in some cases after sin-tering, into a primary smelter. Lead concentra-tions can be 50–70%, and the sulfur content of sulfidic ores is in the range of 15–20%. Zinc con-centration is in the range of 40–60%, with sulfur

An aerobic, non-motile, Gram-stain-negative, red-to-pinkish and rod-shaped bacterium, designated 9PBR-2 T, was isolated from an abandoned lead-zinc ore sample collected from Meizhou, Guangdong Province, PR China.Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain 9PBR-2 T belongs to the genus Hymenobacter and …

Additional publication details. Copper localities that merit geological investigation are found in the western Chasai District, in North Waziristan Agency, and in the Salt Range in Mianwali and Sargodha Districts. No high-grade deposits have been .reported from these,areas and if deposits are developed they will likely be low-grade, high ...

Arsenic compounds were seen to induce metallothionein in mice studies. Arsenic compounds differ in their potency to induce the metallothionein protein; As 3+ > As 5+ > MMA > DMA. Unlike cadmium, arsenic binds to the metallothionein protein with a lesser affinity, and thus only a small percentage of the metal is bound.

Arsenic contents were less than 2000 ppm in the lead and zinc concentrates. Copper concentrate assayed 5.03% As since the major copper minerals were in tennantite form (copper arsenic sulphide ...

Arsenic is a highly toxic element, which is often associated with valuable metallic minerals such as lead–zinc ore, arsenopyrite, pyrite and water-arsenic zinc ore in nature [1], [2]. During mineral extraction and metallurgical processing, significant quantities of arsenic-containing slag and soot are generated [3].

Arsenic is released into the air by volcanoes, through weathering of arsenic-containing minerals and ores, and by commercial or industrial processes. Arsenic occurs naturally in the earth's crust, and much of its …

Arsenic in Sedimentary Rocks . It should be noted that a higher than average content of arsenic is commonly found in sandstones, shales, and coals associated with uranium …

Artificial adamite [Zn2(AsO4)(OH)] is a convenient structural model because it is isostructural with other rock-forming minerals in secondary ore deposits formed in cementation zones. Microbial activity in these zones accelerates mineral biogeochemical deterioration and metal release, and our results confirmed that Pseudomonas, …

1.Introduction. Arsenic is a highly toxic element, which is often associated with valuable metallic minerals such as lead–zinc ore, arsenopyrite, pyrite and water-arsenic zinc ore in nature [1], [2].During mineral extraction and metallurgical processing, …

In summary, zinc deficiency and arsenic exposure can function independently or cooperatively to affect zinc status, oxidant stress, and proinflammatory response. The results highlight the need to consider both nutritional status and arsenic exposures together when considering their impact on health outcomes in susceptible populations.

The percentage of arsenic in SZO distributed in F1 is 8.99%, and it is classified in the low-risk category. Sample S, MS2, and WS with arsenic in F1 of 8.57%, 8.42%, and 1.70%, respectively, are categorized as low risk to the environment and MS1 with 0.84% of arsenic in F1 as no risk.

In this study, experiments were conducted to isolate, characterize, and evaluate rice rhizosphere bacteria for their arsenic (As) tolerance ability and zinc (Zn) solubilization potential in culture media and soil. Among 20 bacterial isolates recovered, six were found to solubilize inorganic Zn salt(s) efficiently under in vitro culture conditions. 16S rRNA gene …
