China and Chile are the largest and second largest arsenic trioxide producing countries, followed by Belgium, Russia, Kazakhstan and Mexico. The largest consumer of arsenic is the USA.
Properties
It can be found in two forms arsenic and arsenic which are metal and non-metal respectively. This metal cannot be converted into liquid form, rather it transforms into gas from a solid at the temperature of 616C.
Applications
Arsenic is very less used as a metallic element, but alloy with metals, like copper and lead for further uses. Some of the applications of arsenic are mentioned here:

• It is used as a wood preservative.
• It is used in glass-making.
• It is used as a compound along with indium and gallium, in semiconductors to be further used in solar cells, mobile phones, other electrical equipment, pesticides, insecticides and herbicides.
• It is also used as an alloying element in certain alloys with lead and copper base.
• This alloying element is used in the production of lead shot.

Recycling
This metalloid element is also called the King of Poisons because of its high toxicity. The soil and water systems are affected by the arsenic contamination. According to environmental laws, arsenic is to be necessarily removed from ores. If found in e-waste, like switches and circuit boards, arsenic is to be recycled to reduce toxicity in the environment.
