Gallium is a rare element on earth, with a content of 19 ppm in the continental crust, its abundance is comparable to that of lithium and lead. It does not occur in elemental form, but only in bound form, mainly in aluminum, zinc or germanium ores. The ores richest in Gallium include bauxite, zinc blende ores and germanite.

Gallium occurs in many different minerals and rocks where substitution takes place with elements of similar size, such as zinc, or similar charge, such as aluminum. Therefore, Ga is primarily recovered as a byproduct of processing aluminum or zinc ores (Foley and others, 2017). Some U.S. zinc deposits contain up to 50 parts per million Ga, …
