Chemical Speciation and Fate of Selected Heavy Metals in Soils Strongly Polluted by Copper Smelters

فصل «Chemical Speciation and Fate of Selected Heavy Metals in Soils Strongly Polluted by Copper Smelters» از کتاب «Geochemical Approaches to Environmental Engineering of Metals» موضوع را در حوزه «متالورژی مس» بررسی می‌کند. محتوا مبانی علمی، روش‌های فنی و پیامدهای عملی موضوع را به‌صورت منسجم توضیح می‌دهد. برای انتخاب فرایند، طراحی واحد، تحلیل بهره‌برداری و رفع عیب در استخراج و پالایش مس مفید است.

Being one of the most important European centres for copper metallurgy, LGOM (the copper industry region of Legnica and Glogow, situated in the south-western part of Poland) contributes to environmental contamination by releasing phytotoxic gases and metallurgical dusts into the air, and to the surrounding soils and vegetation. Over the last forty years, three copper smelters have discharged large amounts of gaseous pollutants and heavy metal containing dust (especially copper and lead, but also zinc, cadmium, arsenic and manganese).
