Occurrence, distribution, and volume of metals …

The mine-waste piles and underground mines are continuous sources of trace metals (primarily lead, zinc, and cadmium) to the streams that drain the TSMD. Many previous studies characterized the horizontal extent of mine-waste contamination in streams but little information exists on the depth of mine-waste contamination in these streams.

Zinc and cadmium accumulation and tolerance in …

A cadmium hyperaccumulator is defined as a plant species capable of accumulating more than 100 mg kg −1 (dry wt.) in the shoots (Baker et al., 2000). Thus, the results presented here show that S. alfredii grown at the ZJ mine site was a Zn and Cd hyperaccumulator, which confirmed the results reported by Yang et al., 2001, Yang et al., 2004.

Associations of cadmium, zinc, and lead in soils from a lead and zinc

An exploratory study of the area surrounding a historical Pb–Zn mining and smelting area in Zawar, India, detected significant contamination of the terrestrial environment by heavy metals. Soils (n = 87) were analyzed for pH, EC, total organic matter (TOM), Pb, Zn, Mn, and Cd levels. The statistical analysis indicated that the frequency distribution of the analyzed …

Tar Creek Superfund Site

When mining ceased, huge volumes of mining waste, including chat and mill tailings, were left on the surface. Mining and milling produced more than 500 million tons of waste in the Tri-State area. These wastes contain elevated concentrations of lead, cadmium, and zinc and contributed to elevated blood lead concentrations in some communities.

Characterization of Zinc, Lead, and Cadmium in Mine …

We characterized the lability and bioaccessibility of Zn, Pb, and Cd in size-fractionated mine waste at the Tar Creek Superfund Site (Oklahoma) to assess the potential for metal transport, exposure, and subsequent bioavailability. Bulk mine waste samples contained elevated Zn (9100 ± 2500 ppm), Pb (650 ± 360 ppm), and Cd (42 ± 10 ppm), while particles …

Carbonate-rich mine tailings are exposed to severe erosion and dispersion in Mediterranean climates. In Jalta mining area, the dispersion of particles that contain (Pb, Zn and Cd) results in the contamination of the surrounding agricultural soils. These soils have high concentrations of Pb (17,229 mg/kg), Zn (4813 mg/kg) and Cd (42 mg/kg ...

Cadmium

Cadmium is produced mainly as a by-product of mining, smelting and refining of zinc and, to a lesser degree, as a by-product of lead and copper manufacturing. Most of the cadmium produced is used in the production of nickel-cadmium batteries, which in 2004 represented 81 per cent of the total amount of cadmium.
