Mineral Concentration Plant and Milling – Minera San Cristóbal S.A.
The concentration of zinc, lead and silver in the mineralized rock extracted from the Jayula and Tesorera pits in the San Cristóbal mine is very low; it is therefore necessary to have the material undergo a process designed to increase the content of these elements and thus obtain products with a commercial value. In this sense, the concentration plant was …

Reciprocal effects of copper and zinc in plants
However, for another type of plants, this higher zinc concentration can cause leaf chlorosis (Qiao et al. 2019), inhibition of growth (Baker and Walker 1990), or inhibition of photosynthesis (DalCorso et al. 2013). Higher concentration of Zn can inhibit plant growth, especially growth of roots, which was observed by Sresty and Madhava Rao .
