Abstract | Process gases emitted to the atmosphere from primary copper, zinc, and lead smelters in the U. S. contain 1,920,000 short tons of sulfur per year. All of it can be sold if a portion can be converted from sulfur oxides to elemental sulfur at a cost that is low enough to be competitive. The major technical and economic problem is the control of offgases containing low concentrations of sulfur oxides. (Author) |
