Detailed explanation-1: -Zinc is a trace mineral, meaning that the body only needs small amounts, and yet it is necessary for almost 100 enzymes to carry out vital chemical reactions. It is a major player in the creation of DNA, growth of cells, building proteins, healing damaged tissue, and supporting a healthy immune system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Zinc is mined from several different minerals, including sphalerite (zinc sulfide), smithsonite (zinc carbonate), hemimorphite (zinc silicate) and zincite (zinc oxide). Other zinc-bearing minerals include willemite and hydrozincite. Zinc ore is mined in Canada, Australia, the USA, China, Peru.
Detailed explanation-3: -Zinc is the 24th most abundant element in Earth’s crust and has five stable isotopes. The most common zinc ore is sphalerite (zinc blende), a zinc sulfide mineral. The largest workable lodes are in Australia, Asia, and the United States.
