In the extraction of nonferrous metal ores, arsenic enters flue gas, waste water, and waste residue respectively, as oxide or salt. Therefore, if most manufacturers that cannot find suitable arsenic xide treatment methods stockpile a lot of arsenic-containing waste or discharge them in the form of the three wastes (i.e., waste gas, waste water, and industrial …
In natural environments, As mainly comes from mining and metallurgy (Han et al., 2003). Arsenic released from excavated rocks due to natural weathering may contain more As(III) than As(V) (Park et ...
Due to the high-acidic arsenic-containing wastewater pollution greatly threatening human health and ecological safety, a simple and efficient method for reducing arsenic was proposed in this paper to solve this problem. By using potassium borohydride (KBH4) as a reducing agent, the soluble arsenic was converted into the gaseous arsine (AsH3) or solid …
Mining: Production and Control of Arsenic. Arsenic is a naturally occurring element found in many rocks and minerals in the earth's crust. It is also classified as a critical mineral and has important uses in our economy and clean energy …
Arsenic-bearing waste material was for many years used for backfilling workings, ground leveling and road hardening [4,7]. Environmental pollution in those areas was also caused by the emission of ...
Microbial arsenic transformations play essential roles in controlling pollution and ameliorating risk. This study combined high-throughput sequencing and PCR-based approaches targeting both the 16 S rRNA and arsenic functional genes to investigate the temporal and spatial dynamics of the soil microbiomes impacted by high arsenic contamination (9.13 to 911.88 …
Abstract Arsenic is a harmful element that widely exists in various non-ferrous metal minerals including copper. With the depletion of free and low arsenic copper ores, containing arsenic copper ore has become an important mineral resource for copper smelting and processing. In the smelting and extraction of copper minerals, arsenic poses a serious …

Mai advises mining companies to consider their processing options at resource development and PEA stages when the increased gold extraction, the generation of dry stack tailings, smaller footprint and the proper handling of arsenic offered by the CLEVR and GlassLock processes can be reflected in the overall mine plan and project cost.
The results of a study on the spatial distribution of arsenic in topsoil (0-5 cm) over the K. Mitrovica region, Kosovo, are reported. The investigated region (300 km(2)) was covered by a sampling grid of 1.4 km × 1.4 km. ... Arsenic in surface soils affected by mining and metallurgical processing in K. Mitrovica region, Kosovo Int J Environ ...
The usage of copper (Cu) ores containing low or no arsenic (As) has reduced, and Cu ores containing high levels of As have emerged as vital mineral resources for Cu extraction and processing. The quality of the Cu ores has decreased from 1.6% to approximately 1.0%. The proportion of As to Cu in 15% of Cu resources currently reaches 1:5. However, during the …
The study of the geochemical behavior of arsenic in mining areas and the microbial remediation of arsenic pollution have great potential and are hot spots for the prevention and remediation of arsenic pollution. ... elucidating the biotoxicity and bioaccumulation process of arsenic with different chemical forms (Song et al., 2020; Cui et al ...

Arsenic is one of the most hazardous pollutants for both environment and human health [1, 2], generated from the mining activity for processing of different ores such as lead, zinc, copper, gold, and nickel [3,4,5].Therefore, arsenic should be captured and stabilized by strict control to prevent any destructive effects in the environment [6, 7].As a result of the …
Arsenic minerals in mining environments. Arsenic is widely distributed in the Earth's crust, occurring in trace amounts (average crustal abundance =1.5 mg/kg), predominantly in minerals of igneous and sedimentary rocks and soils (Plant et al. 2005).Some arsenic-bearing minerals, such as arsenides and sulfarsenides, are considered non-toxic because they are …
