17/01/2014#0183;#32;Graphite dust has contributed to severe air and water pollution in Luobei County and Jixi City, creating what is being described as graphite rain. This has sparked complaints from both residents and business owners which has thrust the province, which produces 43% of the world''s 420,000 tpa flake graphite in 2012, into the spotlight.
Water Pollution; Pollutants discharged from the industries have widespread implications, and one of the unpleasant effects is on water bodies. Industries demand lots of water for efficient production such as cooling, cleaning, and treatment and as such, the water drawn from the
