Children are more susceptible to lead poisoning, and the effect on childhood mental development has been a significant issue in the formulation of environmental controls.
A revolutionary new hydro-metallurgical technology has been developed by two companies; Doe Run Company, USA in partnership with M/s Engitec, Italy. A commercial plant for producing 60,000 tonnes per annum of lead metal at an estimated capital cost of 150 million US Dollar is envisaged setting up by Doe Run Company, St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The breakthrough technology not only envisages improvements in lead processing efficiencies but also is expected to drastically reduce air emissions, waste generations and water pollution and will have smaller carbon footprint.

The key drivers for Zinc industry will be macroeconomic developments, especially in China and to some extent in the European countries, and increase in supply as new projects in pipeline come on stream in the year 2013. An ideal situation would be one where miners continue to keep refined metal production growth under check while demand recovers to comfortable levels.

Zinc is one of the strategic non-ferrous metal next only to Aluminium and Copper. It plays a very important role in country’s economy and development. It finds use in applications like galvanizing of iron and steel; die-casting alloys, brasses, dry cells, agriculture, chemicals, pharmaceuticals etc., with industrial development in India use of zinc has increased considerably, however, specific consumption is much lower as compared to other developing countries.
The most important raw material for the production of zinc is the sulphide ore from which zinc is extracted either through pyro-metallurgical route or through hydro metallurgical – Roast – Leach – Electrowin (RLE) route. At present nearly 80 - 85% of the world’s production of primary zinc is through hydrometallurgical route, the balance is through pyro – metallurgical route.
Zinc’s largest use is in corrosion protection. Galvanising is the main method of protection against corrosion of steel, i.e. the steel is coated with a layer of zinc in order to protect it from decay.
Brasses are alloys of copper and zinc, and they have good mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance.
Diecastings are precision castings that can be mass-produced. Rolled zinc is used for architectural and building applications, and for dry cell batteries. Zinc oxide has its main use in tyres and rubber products. Many other zinc chemicals are used in a wide range of applications.
The most commonly used non-ferrous metals are aluminium, copper, lead, and zinc. Millions of tonnes of nonferrous scrap are recovered annually and used by smelters, refiners, ingot makers, foundries, and other manufacturers. Secondary materials are essential to the industry’s survival because even new metals often require the combined use of recycled materials.
Every government employee has the right to know his performance evaluation and the grades obtained by him. Such information are helpful in improving work performance. Therefore, there is no justification for withholding ACR grades of employees.
