Recovery of copper and nickel. A smelting-reduction process was then used to recover Cu and Ni from the water-leaching residue, as presented in Fig. S2. ... spent cathode carbon combustion dust and copper refining slag can be simultaneously realized, which has substantial significance for the harmless disposal and cyclic …
The samples for bioleaching experiments were taken from furnace dust collectors. Particle size analysis of dust by screening and syclosizer showed that about 80% of dust particles are finer than 80 μm. The average copper and iron content of dust was 29.15% and 22.23% and the main copper sulphide minerals were chalcocite …
Law et al., 1992 developed a two-step closed-loop process for the recovery of zinc from the flue dust of copper smelting furnace. In the first step, 90% zinc was recovered in sulphuric acid reducing the dust volume by 50% and in the second step lead was dissolved in hydrochloric acid and further decreasing the dust volume by 75%.

The recovery of valuable metals from SMD can not only reduce the environmental protection pressure of steel plants, but ease the pressure on mineral resources and bring economic benefits. The physical methods divide the dust into zinc-rich dust and low-zinc dust according to the difference in particle size and density.
The purpose of this study was to develop a resource recovery procedure for recovering copper and zinc from dust produced by copper smelting furnaces during the manufacturing of copper-alloy wires. The concentrations of copper in copper-containing dust do not meet the regulation standards defined by the Taiwan Environmental …
Smelter dust from copper extraction plants contains copper (Cu), which is both an economic loss and a pollution issue. There is therefore a need for techniques to recover Cu from ultrafine dust. Here we tested sulfation roasting, water leaching and electrorefining to recover Cu. See more
Thermodynamic Considerations for New Process to Treat Copper Smelter Dust. It can be seen from Table 1 that PbSO 4 is the major component in the copper smelter dust which is also the major component in lead batteries. If PbSO 4 is used for reduction directly, a large amount of PbS will be formed under reducing conditions and …
Electrorefining also recovers Ag, Au, and Pt group metals. Secondary copper refining is similar to primary copper refining. However, scrap may contain more impurities than …
