Children still mining cobalt for gadget batteries in Congo

A CBS News investigation of child labor in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo has revealed that tens of thousands of children are growing up without a childhood today – two years after a damning Amnesty report about human rights abuses in the cobalt trade was published. The Amnesty report first revealed that cobalt mined by children was ending up in products from prominent tech companies including Apple, Microsoft, Tesla and Samsung. 

There's such sensitivity around cobalt mining in the DRC that a CBS News team traveling there recently was stopped every few hundred feet while moving along dirt roads and seeing children digging for cobalt. From as young as 4 years old, children can pick cobalt out of a pile, and even those too young to work spend much of the day breathing in toxic fumes.

What's life like for kids mining cobalt for our gadgets?

So, what exactly is cobalt, and what are the health risks for those who work in the DRC's cobalt mining industry?

What is cobalt?

Cobalt – a naturally occurring element –  is a critical component in lithium-ion, rechargeable batteries. In recent years, the growing global market for portable electronic devices and rechargeable batteries has fueled demand for its extraction, Amnesty said in its 2016 report. In fact, many top electronic and electric vehicle companies need cobalt to help power their products.

The element is found in other products as well.

"Cobalt-containing products include corrosion and heat-resistant alloys, hard metal (cobalt-tungsten-carbide alloy), magnets, grinding and cutting tools, pigments, paints, colored glass, surgical implants, catalysts, batteries, and cobalt-coated metal (from electroplating)," says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

More than half of the world's supply of cobalt comes from the DRC, and 20 percent of that is mined by hand, according to Darton Commodities Ltd., a London-based research company that specializes in cobalt.  

Health risks of chronic exposure 

According to the CDC, "chronic exposure to cobalt-containing hard metal (dust or fume) can result in a serious lung disease called 'hard metal lung disease'" – a kind of pneumoconiosis, meaning a lung disease caused by inhaling dust particles. Inhalation of cobalt particles can cause respiratory sensitization, asthma, decreased pulmonary function and shortness of breath, the CDC says.

The health agency says skin contact is also a significant health concern "because dermal exposures to hard metal and cobalt salts can result in significant systemic uptake." 

"Sustained exposures can cause skin sensitization, which may result in eruptions of contact dermatitis," a red, itchy skin rash, the CDC says.

Despite the health risks, researchers with Amnesty International found that most cobalt miners in Congo lack basic protective equipment like face masks, work clothing and gloves. Many of the miners the organization spoke with for its 2016 report – 90 people in total who work, or worked, in the mines – complained of frequent coughing or lung problems. Cobalt mining's dangerous impact on workers and the environment

Some women complained about the physical nature of the work, with one describing hauling 110-pound sacks of cobalt ore. "We all have problems with our lungs, and pain all over our bodies," the woman said, according to Amnesty.

Moreover, miners said unsupported mining tunnels frequently give way, and that accidents are common.  

Miners know their work is dangerous, Todd C. Frankel wrote late last month in The Washington Post. 

"But what's less understood are the environmental health risks posed by the extensive mining," he reported. "Southern Congo holds not only vast deposits of cobalt and copper but also uranium. Scientists have recorded alarming radioactivity levels in some mining regions. Mining waste often pollutes rivers and drinking water. The dust from the pulverized rock is known to cause breathing problems. The mining industry's toxic fallout is only now being studied by researchers, mostly in Lubumbashi, the country's mining capital."

"These job are really desired"

Despite the dangers and risks of working as miners in the cobalt industry, at least of the some miners in the Congo "love their jobs," according to Frankel.

"When I talked to the miners there, none of them want to lose their jobs or give up their jobs. They love their jobs," Frankel said Tuesday, speaking on CBSN. "In a country like Congo, mining is one of the few decently paying jobs to be had there, and so they want to hold onto these jobs."

They also want fair treatment, decent pay, and some safety, "and they would love for their kids to not work in the mines," he said.

"It's a poverty problem," Frankel said. "These parents I talked to – they don't want their kids working in these mines. The problem is that their school fees – schools cost money, and you know, food costs money, and they sort of need their kids to work in there."

Poverty also drives children into the mines instead of school – an estimated 40,000 of them work in brutal conditions starting at very young ages.

The thousands of miners who work in tunnels searching for cobalt in the country "do it because they live in one of the poorest countries in the world, and cobalt is valuable," Frankel wrote in the Washington Post article.

"Not doing enough" 

CBS News spoke with some of the companies that use cobalt in their lithium-ion batteries. All of the companies acknowledged problems with the supply chain, but said they require suppliers to follow responsible sourcing guidelines. Apple, an industry leader in the fight for responsible sourcing, said walking away from the DRC "would do nothing to improve conditions for the people or the environment."

Read company responses here

Amnesty said in November, however, that "major electronics and electric vehicle companies are still not doing enough to stop human rights abuses entering their cobalt supply chains." 

"As demand for rechargeable batteries grows, companies have a responsibility to prove that they are not profiting from the misery of miners working in terrible conditions in the DRC," the organization said. "The energy solutions of the future must not be built on human rights abuses."

An estimated two-thirds of children in the region of the DRC that CBS News visited recently are not in school. They're working in mines instead. 

CBS News' Debora Patta spoke with an 11-year-old boy, Ziki Swaze, who has no idea how to read or write but is an expert in washing cobalt. Every evening, he returns home with a dollar or two to provide for his family.

"I have to go and work there," he told Patta, "because my grandma has a bad leg and she can't."

He said he dreams of going to school, but has always had to work instead.

"I feel very bad because I can see my friends going to school, and I am struggling," he said.

Amnesty says "it is widely recognized internationally that the involvement of children in mining constitutes one of the worst forms of child labour, which governments are required to prohibit and eliminate."

High efficiency, salt resistance and high strength desalination achieved with new hydrogel solar evaporator

In the face of increasing global scarcity of freshwater resources, desalination is considered one of the most effective ways to alleviate this problem. However, it does come with a catch—efficient and low-cost evaporation materials are key to achieving large-scale applications.

Hydrogels present a promising opportunity, yet conventional uses of these in interfacial solar evaporators still lack the ability to satisfy the trade-off for high evaporation rate, salt resistance and durable mechanical properties.

Therefore, most traditional hydrogel materials are only suitable for low-salinity brine, far from the requirements of long-term evaporation and treatment of industrial high-salinity wastewater. It has been demonstrated that the salt resistance of hydrogels can be enhanced by constructing interpenetrating 3D macropore structure.

Nonetheless, rapid water transport and high water content can lead to increased conductive heat loss. This problem can be solved by further designing the Janus structure. Furthermore, although various methods for creating such structures exist, they are often complex and lack surface stability.

Stainless steel has extensive utilization in the automotive sector because of its visual appeal and corrosion resistance properties. Corrosion resistance helps its use in catalytic converters and exhaust silencers. These parts face exhaust gas attacks from the inner side and road dirt, salt, and water from the external side. In such cases, stainless steel is the best suitable material. Automotive applications of the product include fuel tanks, trim, gaskets, suspension systems, and bodies of the buses.

Characteristics of diverse stainless steel materials depending upon the application make them advantageous and preferable when compared to other materials. This is a major reason for their growing demand. For example, if we compare steel and aluminum since they are often considered alternatives in many applications, steel is preferable over aluminum because of its low cost, strength, and less likely to damp, bent, or warp.

Numerous applications have propelled the demand for stainless steel during these years and by enlargement in the end-use industries, the need for these materials is expected to increase further at a rapid rate. As a result, the production of the commodity is carried out on a large scale where iron ore is the key raw material. This ore is mined from the earth’s crust.

The increasing demand together with certain disadvantages, associated with conventional production processes such as the negative environmental effect of iron ore mining, has compelled vendors to opt for an alternative step, which is recycling. The phenomenal property of stainless steel can be recycled frequently without having any impact on the quality eventually promoting the stainless steel scrap industry.

Stainless steel scrap recycling has various benefits economically and environmental. Every ton of recycled steel saves 1.5 tons of iron ore, and 0.5 tons of coal, and reduces water consumption by 40.0%. In addition, carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by 50-60%. As a result, the advantages of metal recycling along with increasing demand for stainless steel in end-use applications are propelling the growth of the stainless steel market.

The leather industry, one of the oldest manufacturing sectors, has played a crucial role in human civilization for thousands of years. From early hunters using animal hides for warmth and protection to modern fashion houses creating luxury leather goods, the industry's evolution reflects broader changes in technology, culture, and economics. This article delves into the leather industry's history, production processes, economic significance, and the challenges it faces today.

Historical Background

Leather production dates back to ancient times, with evidence of leather goods found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs and among the remains of ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. Initially, leather was primarily used for clothing, footwear, and tools. Over time, it became a symbol of status and wealth, leading to the development of specialized tanning techniques and the rise of leather artisans.

Leather Production Process

The production of leather involves several complex stages, each requiring precision and expertise. The process begins with the selection of raw hides, primarily sourced from cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs. These hides undergo a preservation process, usually through salting or refrigeration, to prevent decay before they reach the tannery.

1. Preparation:

Soaking: The hides are soaked in water to remove dirt and restore moisture.

Liming: The hides are treated with lime to remove hair and fats.

Fleshing: Excess flesh and fat are mechanically removed.

Deliming and Bating: The hides are treated with ammonium salts and enzymes to soften them and prepare them for tanning.

2. Tanning:

Vegetable Tanning: Involves using natural tannins from tree bark and other plant sources, resulting in a firm and durable leather.

Chrome Tanning: The most common method, using chromium salts, produces soft and flexible leather with high water resistance.

Aldehyde Tanning: Produces a softer leather, often used for automotive and upholstery applications.

3. Post-Tanning Operations:

Splitting: The hide is split into layers, with the top layer (grain) used for high-quality leather goods.

Drying: The leather is dried, either naturally or through controlled environments.

Finishing: The leather is dyed, conditioned, and coated to enhance its appearance and durability.

Economic Significance

The leather industry is a major global economic player, contributing significantly to the economies of many countries, particularly in Asia, Europe, and South America. Major leather-producing countries include India, China, Brazil, and Italy. The industry supports millions of jobs worldwide, from farming and rawhide procurement to tanning, manufacturing, and retail.

The global demand for leather goods is driven by factors such as fashion trends, consumer preferences, and economic growth. Luxury leather goods, in particular, command high prices and are associated with prestigious brands and craftsmanship.

Environmental and Ethical Concerns

Despite its economic importance, the leather industry faces significant challenges, particularly regarding environmental and ethical concerns. Tanning, especially chrome tanning, can have severe environmental impacts if not properly managed. The use of toxic chemicals, water pollution, and waste disposal are critical issues that need to be addressed to make the industry more sustainable.

Moreover, the ethical implications of using animal hides in leather production have sparked debate among consumers and activists. The rise of veganism and the growing popularity of alternative materials, such as synthetic leather (often called "vegan leather"), pose challenges to the traditional leather industry.

Innovation and the Future of Leather

In response to these challenges, the leather industry is undergoing significant transformation. Innovations in tanning processes, such as the development of chrome-free and water-efficient methods, are reducing the environmental footprint of leather production. Additionally, advancements in biotechnology are leading to the creation of lab-grown leather, which could revolutionize the industry by offering a sustainable and ethical alternative to traditional leather.

The future of the leather industry will likely be shaped by a combination of tradition and innovation. While there will always be a market for genuine leather, especially in luxury segments, the industry must adapt to changing consumer preferences and environmental regulations. Sustainable practices, transparency, and ethical considerations will play a crucial role in determining the industry's long-term viability.

Conclusion

The leather industry, with its deep historical roots and significant economic impact, is at a crossroads. As it navigates the challenges of sustainability and ethics, the industry must balance tradition with innovation to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world. By embracing new technologies and responding to consumer demands for transparency and responsibility, the leather industry can continue to thrive while minimizing its environmental and ethical footprint.

Connections

Secure connections between the electrode and the earthing conductor are vital. Using clamps and brazing can ensure a durable and low-resistance connection.

Maintenance Tips for Copper Earthing Electrodes

Regular Inspections

Periodic inspections can help identify and rectify issues such as loose connections or soil displacement, ensuring the earthing system remains effective.

Soil Conditioning

Maintaining soil moisture around the electrodes can enhance conductivity. Adding salt or chemical compounds can improve soil conductivity if necessary.

Replacing Damaged Electrodes

Although copper electrodes are durable, they may still suffer damage over time. Replacing damaged electrodes promptly ensures the earthing system's integrity.
