10 Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits are commonly enriched in Cu, Zn and 11 Pb and can also be variably enriched in Au, As, Sb, Se and Te. The behaviour of these elements 12 during hydrothermal alteration of the oceanic crust is not well known. Ocean Drilling Program 13 (ODP) Hole 1256D penetrates a complete in-situ section of the upper oceanic crust providing a 14 unique sample suit...

In order to investigate the effects of Zn on Pb toxicities. Proportion of abnormal sperm, percentage of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocyte (MPCE), serum thyroid hormones (T(3), T(4)) and cortisol were measured. Rats received intraperitoneal injection of 25 mg/kg Pb acetate, 4 mg/kg Zn acetate, both Pb acetate and Zn acetate, or normal saline as controls, once every two days, 7 times in to...

In this study, 115 samples taken from the stream sediments were analyzed for concentrations of As, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, W, Zn, Au, Ba, Fe, Mn, Sr, Ti, U, V and Zr. In order to outline mineralization-derived stream sediments, various mapping techniques including fuzzy factor score, geochemical halos and fractal model were used. Based on these models, concentrations of Co, Cr, Ni, Zn, Ba, Fe, Mn, ...

The development of lead-free solder alloys for high-temperature applications is required to meet increasing demands for reliable replacements for lead-containing alloys. This paper provides a review of recent research...

The solid-liquid interface reaction between phosphate rock (PR) and metals (Pb, Cu, and Zn) was studied. Phosphate rock has the highest affinity for Pb, followed by Cu and Zn, with sorption capacities of 138, 114, and 83.2 mmol/kg PR, respectively. In the Pb-Cu-Zn ternary system, competitive metal sorption occurred with sorption capacity reduction of 15.2%, 48.3%, and 75.6% for Pb, Cu, and Zn, ...

Fujitsu has implemented a company-wide effort to progressively reduce the use of lead (Pb) and eventually eliminate this environmental pollutant from its products. As part of this effort, we have developed a new lead-free solder that consists of tin (Sn), zinc (Zn), and aluminum (Al) and yet offers superior productivity and joint reliability. The new lead-free solder has a melting point equival...

altogether 20 groundwater samples were collected around the lakan pb and zn mine in iran. samples were analyzed for 8 constituents including fe, pb, hg, mn, zn, cn, so4 and cl using standard method. the results show that the average concentrations of constituents were 0.01, 0.60, 0.10, 0.01, 0.40, 35, 0.01 and 5.95 mg/kg for fe, mn, pb, zn, hg, so4, cn and cl, respectively. the computed contami...
