DEVELOPMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE ELECTROCOAGULATION (EC) REACTOR FOR LEAD REMOVAL FROM EX-MINING POND WATER

Exposure of tin ore and the associated minerals such as galena (PbS), arsenopyrite (FeAsS), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), stannite (Cu2FeSnS4), teallite (PbSnS2), pyrite (FeS), etc to air during mining might cause the oxidation and dissolution of the minerals which lead to the release of heavy metals to...
