An oxygen-enriched bottom-blown smelting process has been proposed to extract valuable metals and remove arsenic from high-arsenic copper dross. PbO, PbS, Cu2S, and Cu5As2 were the main components of the copper dross. Iron scrap, calcium carbonate, coke, and silica were added as flux in the smelting process. Mineralogical …

Characterization of Copper Smelting Flue Dusts from a Bottom
As can be seen in Figure 8(a), the distribution characteristics of arsenic in BBSFD particles can be divided into three categories: the low-arsenic particles with high copper (26 to 44 at. pct) (III) and the higher arsenic particles with a low-copper content (0.3 to 9.0 at. pct) (I). As for the trend of arsenic content in particles with medium ...

Separation of arsenic and tin from Cu–As alloy based on phase
Thus, only arsenic can be theoretically separated from Cu–As alloy. Factually, arsenic in Cu–As alloy is difficult to be removed due to a strong binding force of copper to arsenic [31], [38]. To effectively separate arsenic, structure of Cu–As alloy have to be destroyed. Thus, arsenic can be freely volatilized under vacuum environment.
