1. Introduction. Nowadays, cadmium is a serious challenge to the fertilizers industry; it is considered one of the most important parameters to assess the phosphate ore quality, phosphoric acid, and associated fertilizers (European Commission Report, 2016, Samrane and Bouhaouss, 2022).Accordingly, the fertilizers industry has been dedicating …Web

The cadmium content of the zinc concentrate is usually around 0.3% to 0.5%. An estimated 90% to 98% of the cadmium present in zinc ores is recovered in the mining and beneficiating stages of the extraction process. Figure 1 shows a schematic flow of mining and beneficiating a typical lead-zinc ore. Figure 1.Web

Cadmium is a naturally occurring element in the crust of the earth. Coal and other fossil fuels contain cadmium and their combustion releases the element into the atmosphere. Cadmium is found naturally in various ores: lead and copper containing zinc, some iron ores, and in sulfide ore. These can result in emissions to water.Web
