·On an ore field scale some Cordilleran Cu bearing mineralization is thought to be part of a porphyry Cu system An example is the Zn Pb Ag Cu Bi mineralization at Cerro de Pasco and Cu Zn Pb Au Ag mineralization in the Colquijirca district of Peru which are thought to be located in the upper parts of Cu bearing porphyries
The Kipushi deposit Zn Cu Pb Cd Ag Ge Ga is located in the southeastern part of the copper belt of Shaba It is remarkable for its mineralogical wealth and its economic importance This is also the case of the uranium deposit of Shinkolobwe U Ni Co Au
·The uptake and bioaccumulation of heavy metals in vegetables are influenced by a number of factors such as climate atmospheric depositions the concentrations of heavy metals in soil the nature of soil on which the vegetables are grown and the degree of maturity of the plants at the time of harvest Lake et al 1984 Scott et al 1996 Voutsa et al 1996
Cargas asociadas Pb Zn Cu Cd y Cr La fracción de tamaño < 63 μm tendió a asociar el mayor porcentaje de carga de metales pesados %/kg de sedimento ó %/m 2 ver tabla 5 Excepto para Pb y Cu donde la fracción de tamaño con mayor contenido de elementos metálicos fue entre 250 500 μm
·Soil pollution caused by potentially toxic metals PTMs is a world recognized environmental problem The excessive accumulation of PTMs Cr Cu Zn As Cd Hg and Pb in soil has seriously affected the grows of crops and the quality and safety of food and further affected human health through the food chain [19] [21] [30] Various physical remediation
·Contamination of soils with metals including Cd Pb and Zn causes soil degradation which is mostly originated from human activity posing a threat to soil health and compromising its ability to perform its functions Kumpiene et al 2009; Pereira et al 2018 Mining is one of the main sources of metal pollution for soils causing negative impacts
The major geochemical forms of Cr Ni Cu Zn Pb and V in a soil from an industrial polluted site in the south of Italy were determined by means of synchrotron X ray microanalytical techniques
·The solubility of Cd Cu Pb and Zn as measured by Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure TCLP was significantly lower p < in the biochar amended soils than in the control soil This was paralleled by significant reductions in Cd Cu Pb and Zn accumulated in the above plant biomass of amended soils
·The results indicate that the volatility of the target metals was enhanced as the chlorine concentration increased Inorganic Cl influenced the volatilization of heavy metals in the order of Pb > Zn > Cr > Cu > Mn > Ni However the effects of organic Cl on the volatility of Mn Pb and Cu were greater than the effects on Zn Cr and Ni
·The F2 fraction of Cd Pb Cu and Zn decreased when applying BM OS and BO which might promote the conversion of the combined form of heavy metals with Fe/Mn and CO 3 2 /HCO 3 to the form of hydroxide It was observed that the F2 fraction of Cd decreased by 35% at OS 3% treatment which might be due to the high pH of OS
