https://doi.org/10.56292/SJFSU/vol31_iss6/a%25pKeywords:
галлий, экологические риски, токсичность, геохимия, методы анализа, электроника, переработка отходов, ресурсосбережениеAbstract
Галлий является редким элементом, получающим всё большее значение в современной электронике, солнечной энергетике и оптоэлектронных приборах. В работе рассмотрены геохимические особенности миграции Ga, его возможные экологические риски, связанные с поступлением из промышленных источников, а также современные методы определения в природных и техногенных объектах. Особое внимание уделено перспективам вторичной переработки и утилизации электронных отходов, содержащих Ga, и направлениям его применения в материалах и полупроводниковых технологиях. Отмечается ограниченность токсикологических данных и необходимость дальнейших исследований для оценки воздействия на биоту и человека.
