Non-Ferrous Heavy Metals

Human biomonitoring of heavy metals in the vicinity of non-ferrous metal plants in Ath, Belgium

BACKGROUND A previous study revealed an environmental contamination by heavy metals in the vicinity of two non-ferrous metal plants in Ath, Belgium. The purpose of the current cross-sectional study was to estimate exposure of the population to heavy metals in the vicinity of the plants, in comparison with population living further away. METHODS We did a random sampling in the general populati...

Binder Fraction Reduction in Non-ferrous Metals Concentrates Briquetting Process

M. Jodkowski, J. Łabaj, J. Brzóska, D. Jama – Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland The research results on a method of reducing the amount of binder applied during formation of metal concentrates are presented. Research was done on a model copper concentrate, which was mixed in assumed mass fraction with binder, as well as binder with addition of waste polyols. Such mixtures were...

Analysis of total metals in waste molding and core sands from ferrous and non-ferrous foundries.

Waste molding and core sands from the foundry industry are successfully being used around the world in geotechnical and soil-related applications. Although waste foundry sands (WFSs) are generally not hazardous in nature, relevant data is currently not available in Argentina. This study aimed to quantify metals in waste molding and core sands from foundries using a variety of metal-binder combi...
