Lead and Zinc of Afghanistan
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Afghanistan sits on the junction between the Indo-Australasian and Eurasian crustal plates and is composed of a series of terranes (Figure 1) that broke away from the main Gondwana supercontinent before colliding with and being accreted on to the Eurasian plate. The accretionary events began in the Cretaceous and have continued until recent times. The Herat or Hari Rod fault, which runs E-W across central Afghanistan, marks the boundary between Eurasia to the north and the first of these accretionary terranes, the Farad block, to the south, the intervening Paleo-Tethys Ocean having been subducted under the Eurasian continent. The later collision of the Indo-Pakistan continent caused subduction of the Neo-Tethys Ocean and formed the Himalayan orogeny, which led to uplift of the Hindu Kush mountain range in Afghanistan.

Rangeland Plants Potential for Phytoremediation of Contaminated Soils with Lead, Zinc, Cadmium and Nickel (Case Study: Rangelands around National Lead & Zinc Factory, Zanjan, Iran)
There are many remediating methods for the polluted soils but only phytoremediation is a cost effective, environmental friendly, aesthetically pleasing approach that is most suitable for many countries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential of native plants for phytoremediation of contaminated soils with lead, zinc, cadmium and nickel in the rangelands around National Lead ...
متن کاملLeaching of Lead and Zinc from a Low-Grade Oxide Ore in Citric Acid Media
Leaching of a low-grade lead and zinc oxide ore was studied by an organic reagent, citric acid. The quadratic mathematical models were developed for the relationship among the influential parameters and lead and zinc recoveries. Leaching rate was strongly affected by the interactive effects of factors. It was also found that the quadratic effects of stirring speed and linear<e...
متن کاملBeneflciation Studies of Bama Oxidized Lead and Zinc Ore
Bama is one of the major concentrating plant in Iran which treats nearly 1500 tons per day sulphidic lead and zinc ore. Large amount of oxidized ore exist in Bama which has been extracted along with sulphidic ore. The main objective of the present investigation was the up-grading of the ore from Goshfil which is the major deposit in Bama. The ore contained about 16% zinc as smithsonite, about 1...

The lead and zinc sample from Goosh-e-Fill mine with 2.4%Pb, 8.0%Zn and 10.0% Fe, was used in different flotation experiments to recover lead and zinc minerals. The valuable minerals in prepared sample were oxidized and the results showed that the lead minerals floated at pH= 9.5 and 11.5, probably it can be due to existence of two or more types of lead minerals. The best result was achieved fo...
