METHOD TO REDUCE HYDROSULPHIDE AND ARSINE EMISSIONS DURING WET ORE PROCESSING

摘要

Methods to control hydrogen sulfide and/or arsine emissions are described. The method involves adding at least one copper compound (such as a copper(II) compound) to the material, such as material containing sulfur in a sufficient amount to control said emissions. The material that is treated with the copper compound(s) is preferably an ore, such as a valve metal containing ore.
