Bioaccessible metals in dust materials from non-sulfide Zn deposit and related hydrometallurgical operation
Chemosphere. 2023 Oct 20:140498. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140498. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMining and processing of ores in arid (desert) areas generates high amounts of dust, which might be enriched in potentially harmful elements. We studied dust fractions of ores, soils, and technological materials from mining and related hydrometallurgical operation at former Skorpion Zinc non-sulfide Zn deposit in southern Namibia (closed and placed under maintenance in 2020). Chemical and mineralogical investigation was combined with oral bioaccessibility testing of fine dust fractions (<48 μm and <10 μm) in simul...
