Selenium is a tremendous nutrient which is
significant to human health. Selenium are often obtained from over daily diet,
it plays a crucial role in physical body function. Selenium is merely needed
within the bit but works majorly within the bodily process like metabolism and
thyroid function. Selenium takes part in antioxidant activity that guards
against inflammation and radical damage to the body. Generally, selenium is
presumably to be found in animal food products and whole grains, instead of
vegetables and fresh fruit. A number of the sources of selenium are Brazil
nuts, tuna, halibut, rice, eggs, sunflower seeds, cod, and bread.
According to study, “Selenium
Mining Global Market Report 2019” the key companies operating in the
global selenium mining market are American Elements, JX Nippon Mining &
Metals Corporation, Able Target Limited,
Salvi Chemical Industries Ltd.,
Umicore, Aurubis AG, Shinko Chemical Co., Ltd., Maruti Chemicals, Behn
Meyer Group. The major vendors of the selenium market compete on the basis of
operation cost, price, economies of scale, product quality, and innovation.
Based on type, selenium mining market is
segmented into organic selenium and inorganic selenium. In addition, based on
end-use, market is segmented into agriculture, chemical industry, animal feed
industry, dietary supplements and others
Mining and processing of metallic ore deposits
includes the release of selenium in environment by a waste rock disposal and
tailings produced at the mining site. In metallic ore deposits, selenium is
associated with use of sulfur-containing ores, such as pyrite, sphalerite,
chalcopyrite, and other sulfides. These sulfide-containing ores are the most
prevalent in mining of metals, such as copper, silver, lead, zinc, and uranium.
The Ore processing further involves new methods associated to froth flotation
and leaching further involving the chemical treatment associated to slurry
resulting in the dissolution of selenium in water. This dissolved selenium, is
then discharged by a tailings or the wastewater streams, increasing the chances
of bioaccumulation for the aquatic life. Therfore proper measures, such as
controlling oxidation of selenium and the continuous monitoring of selenium
content while discharging streams, must be well taken care by waste management
systems thus ensuring the minimal discharge of selenium over the ecosystem
The selenium mining market is driven by rise
in demand for selenium in metallurgy, followed by increase in demand from
various end-user industries. Metallurgical selenium is progressively used as an
additive to cast iron, copper, lead, and steel alloys. This further helps in
ornamental the metal’s machinability and casting and forming the desired
properties. The addition selenium to magnesium-manganese alloys also improves
corrosion resistance properties and adding selenium to the stainless steel
results in an easy handling and making it more resistant to the atmospheric
corrosion and disinfecting the overall solutions. Owing to such benefits, the
demand of selenium will increase over the forecast period
Based on geography, the Eastern Europe holds
major share in selenium mining market owing to rise in demand for mining in the
region. Whereas, the Asian-Pacific and North-American regions are estimate to
exhibit substantial growth rate due to rise in usage of selenium in
antibacterial coatings over the forecast period.
