Abstract

During 1953 the American Smelting and Refining Co. completed construction of an addition to its Corpus Christi operations. This addition was designed to treat fume from Asarco’s El Paso and Chihuahua slag fuming plants. The capacity of the plant is from 80 to 90 tons of special high grade zinc for a 24-hr period. Power for the new addition is purchased locally and converted, using mercury arc rectifiers.
