Results are presented from studies of the elemental and phase compositions of dust from the electrostatic precipitators of a Vanyukov furnace operated at the Middle Ural Copper Smelter The size and shape of the dust particles were evaluated and the dust's elemental composition was examined at local probe points. The results were generalized, and it was determined that there is a correlation between the copper and lead contents of the dust and between the copper and arsenic contents of the sulfide phases.
