The Dongling Group is to restart its 100,000-tonne-a-year lead and zinc smelter this month. The lead and zinc smelter near Baoji city in China’s Shaanxi province has been shut since August last year following accusations by locals that it was a source of lead poisoning.
Authorities closed the plant in August after local villagers broke into the plant to protest about alleged lead poisoning. Villagers living near the smelter have since been relocated.
The smelter has a capacity of about 33,000 tons lead and 66,000 tons zinc.
