Abstract

At the Kennecott Utah copper smelter in Magna, Utah, bleed streams from the refinery tankhouse and precious-metals plant are combined with smelter weak acid and electrostatic precipitator dust to produce leach solutions containing copper and impurities. Copper and arsenic are precipitated from the solutions as sulfides in a two-stage continuous process that enables excess arsenic to be removed from the circuit and routed to hazardous waste disposal as a highly concentrated material.
