Lead Production in Morocco at the Zellidja Lead Smelter Company
نویسندگان
چکیده
The subsoil of Morocco is marked by a wealth mineral resources (phosphate, lead, zinc, coal and others). For this reason, the mining sector still considered one main pillars national economy. Moroccan lead deposits are located mainly in Atlas region Eastern region. Zellidja smelter company has succeeded distinguishing itself being among best smelters Morocco. It known nationally internationally for its production soft antimonial oxide, fine silver, copper matte triple alloy concentrate. majority destined international markets such as Europe, North Africa, Near East Middle East. In addition, it also recognized large capacity processing concentrate from several mines. This obviously increased decreased over time, depending on number mines exploited, presence or absence ore, quality industrial equipment, employees other circumstances.

متن کاملChildhood lead poisoning from the smelter in Torreón, México.
Lead concentrations and isotopic compositions in blood samples of 34 children (ages 2-17 years) living within a 113 km(2) area of a silver-zinc-lead smelter plant in Torreón, México were compared to those of associated environmental samples (soil, aerosols, and outdoor and indoor dust) to identify the principal source(s) of environmental and human lead contamination in the area. Lead concentrat...
متن کاملIdentification of sources of lead in children in a primary zinc-lead smelter environment.
We compared high-precision lead isotopic ratios in deciduous teeth and environmental samples to evaluate sources of lead in 10 children from six houses in a primary zinc-lead smelter community at North Lake Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia. Teeth were sectioned to allow identification of lead exposure in utero and in early childhood. Blood lead levels in the children ranged from 10 to 42 m...
متن کاملLead and hypertension in a mortality study of lead smelter workers.
Hypertension has been associated with occupational lead exposure (1-3), and may in part be a consequence of renal injury. Excess mortality from cerebrovascular disease (1,4,5) and other forms of hypertensive vascu-lopathy (6), as well as from chronic renal disease (4-7), have been found in previous studies of lead smelter and battery workers. To assess the epidemiology of death potentially asso...
