“…Fumes and dust from zinc sinter plants are also important feedstock for further purification. Comprehensive overview of cadmium recovery processes have been made by Safarzadeh et al [51]. Commonly, cadmium is seen as a highly toxic metal and cadmium disposal is connected to environmental hazards.…”

“…Commonly, cadmium is seen as a highly toxic metal and cadmium disposal is connected to environmental hazards. Thus, recovering cadmium from primary and secondary sources is of great importance [51]. China and South Korea are the largest producers and account for roughly half of world production, followed by Kazakhstan, Canada, Japan and Mexico [15].…”

Solar energy is commonly seen as a future energy source with significant potential. Ruthenium, gallium, indium and several other rare elements are common and vital components of many solar energy technologies, including dye-sensitized solar cells, CIGS cells and various artificial photosynthesis approaches. This study surveys solar energy technologies and their reliance on rare metals such as indium, gallium, and ruthenium. Several of these rare materials do not occur as primary ores, and are found as byproducts associated with primary base metal ores. This will have an impact on future production trends and the availability for various applications. In addition, the geological reserves of many vital metals are scarce and severely limit the potential of certain solar energy technologies. It is the conclusion of this study that certain solar energy concepts are unrealistic in terms of achieving TW scales.

“…It was reported that zinc mining and refining were polluting industries, due to their toxic residue emissions [17]. Lead (Pb) was a co-product [18] and cadmium was a by product of the zinc production [19]. Both lead and cadmium were found in the fume of zinc sinter plant [19].…”

“…Solvent extraction has been found to be a very promising process for industrial recovery or removal of many elements (Abdel-Khalek et al, 2011;Amin et al, 2010;Radhika et al, 2010), and it has been proven to be effective in removing U, REE, Cd, and other metals (Table 4). However, solvent extraction has limited industrial application due to its unfavorable economics (high prices of reagents), technical challenges (high loss of solvent, extractant dispersion, introduction of new impurities), and environmental concerns (pollution of solvent and formation of new impurities) (Hinojosa Reyes et al, 2001;Sadegh Safarzadeh et al, 2007).…”
