Geochemical Behavior of Heavy Metals During Treatment by Phosphoric Fertilizer at a Dumping Site in Kabwe, Zambia
[chapter]
2019
Springer Proceedings in Earth and Environmental Sciences
Kabwe area in Zambia has been affected by heavy metal contaminations which derived from past mining activities. Particularly, Pb is one of the most concerned elements for human health in Kabwe. In this context, treatment by phosphoric fertilizer was conducted to reduce Pb solubility in soil and slag, limiting their bioavailability. Because leach plant residue in Kabwe contains metal sulfate minerals with high solubility, concentration of heavy metals in groundwater is high. We clarified the
