Effect of galena contained in dust from Zn–Pb metallurgical processes on environment

Abstract This paper assesses the effect of galena emitted with dust from an electrostatic precipitator at Miasteczko Śląskie Zinc Smelting Plant (Poland) onto a soil and water environment. The Eh–pH diagrams plotted in temperature range − 3 to 25 °C serve determine conditions PbS stability under which its decomposition may occur, resulting release ionic forms lead into Determination mobility metallurgical is current important issue view geochemistry mineral components
