Illegal Mineral Processing To Blame For Hejiang River Pollution

The illegal processing of minerals and discharge of sewage by a mining company is to blame for the water pollution in the Hejiang River in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a local official confirmed to the Global Times Monday.

A press officer from the city government of Hezhou said the Huiwei Mineral Processing Plant, one of the 112 mining companies along the river, is responsible for the excessive levels of thallium and cadmium found in the river.

The plant's owner, surnamed Gong, has also been detained, said the official, adding that the plant was also found to be secretly processing indium, a soft metal found in zinc, which has produced waste, including thallium and cadmium that was discharged in the river.
