Abstract:
Samples of the raw input material and industrial wastes collected at different processing stages of lead smelting units have been analyzed using the synchrotron induced X-ray fluorescence method to detect and estimate the presence of heavy metals. Heavy metals such as Sb, Cd, Sn, Pb are found to be present in significant amounts.
