The topic of the volume “Early Indian Metallurgy the production of Lead, Silver and Zinc through Three Millennia in North West India”, just published by Archetype Publications in London, discusses archeological data and analytic results, collected in several decades of research in three zinc, lead and silver mines in India. The author of the volume is Paul T Craddock, former Head of Metallurgy ...

Mining and metallurgy have negative consequences for the environment [1-3] and lead to changes in geological [4] and climatic conditions [5]. Mining-metallurgy operations include the extraction, preparing of ores (crushing ore and flotation), processing of concentrates, and the disposal of waste rock and by-products. The main waste in mining and metallurgy are waste rocks, flotation tailings an...

Indium is a critical element mainly produced as a by-product of zinc mining, and it is largely used in the production process of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels. End-of-life LCDs represent a possible source of indium in the field of urban mining. In the present paper, we apply, for the first time, cross-current leaching to mobilize indium from end-of-life LCD panels. We carried out a series...

The production of indium-tin oxide has increased, owing to the increased manufacture of liquid-crystal panels. It has been reported that interstitial pneumonia occurred in two indium-processing workers; therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate whether interstitial pulmonary disorders were prevalent among indium workers. The study was carried out in 108 male workers in the indium plant whe...

A speciation method was developed for the determination of inorganic indium compounds in the particulate matter of emissions and from the workplace, based on selective sequential extractions. The main inorganic indium compounds that are expected to be present in the atmospheric particulate matter involving the industrial production of indium and in the manufacture of indium compounds were separ...
