Gossan ore is typically abandoned after mining, which not only increases mining production costs but also wastes mineral resources, and its long-term accumulation can easily lead to environmental pollution hazards. Therefore, this paper takes zinc-containing gossan as the research object and, based on high content of zinc iron minerals in ore, study conducts a roasting experiment prepare ZnFeO4...

Therapeutic trials for Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation have aimed at a reduction of cerebral iron content. A 13-year-old girl with mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration treated with an iron-chelating agent was monitored by R2 relaxometry, R2* relaxometry, and quantitative susceptibility mapping to estimate the brain iron content. The highly increased brain i...

A critical characteristic of iron nutrition in infancy, as compared to adults, is the greater dependency of the infant on external sources of iron for daily red cell production. Dallman et al. (1) have calculated that in a 1-year-old, 10-kg infant, dietary iron must provide 30% of the needs for hemoglobin iron turnover as compared to only 5% in the adult male (Table 1). This imposes disproporti...

AIM To report a potential association of thrombosis, thrombocytopenia with iron deficiency anaemia. CASE REPORT A 43-year-old female experienced an episode of a headache, with bilateral papilledema by neurological examination, magnetic resonance venography (MRV) brain showed cerebrovenous thrombosis (CVT), iron deficiency anaemia and thrombocytopenia by blood investigations, that was treated ...

In the protected area of the Cévennes National Park (Southern France), 114 wild brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) were captured at six locations affected to different extents by historical mining and metallurgy dating from the Iron Age to Modern Times. Cadmium and lead in trout livers and muscles reflect high sediment contamination, although an age-related effect was also detected for hepatic me...

Mining activities have been carried out for thousands of years and nowadays have an enormous worldwide use to obtain important metals of industrial use. These include copper, iron, gold and several others. Although modern mining companies have sustainable mining programs that include tailings management and external verifications, it is recognized that these industrial activities are responsibl...

The use of simulation in a project management can illustrate visual display of the project objective and the process virtually but realistically. This paper investigates the valid benefits of using simulation technique for a Mining and Iron Production Factory (MIPF) project. It is believed by the author that mining activity is particularly subject to more risks than other business activities be...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the component of coal responsible for coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP). METHODS A literature search of PubMED was conducted to address studies that have evaluated the risk of CWP based on the components of coal. RESULTS The risk of CWP (CWP) depends on the concentration and duration of exposure to coal dust. Epidemiology studies have shown inverse links between CWP a...
