2021year4month1day For instance, 9.9 mg/kg and 7 mg/kg of Cd have been reported in barite (Crecelius et al., 2007; Trefry et al., 1986). More recently, the Cd concentration in barite ore was found to be as high as 30.9 mg/kg (Shahab et al., 2016). High levels of Cd in barites can result in the significant release of Cd during barium (Ba) mining and manufacturing ...
