Abstract
There are numerous approaches to the treatment of both copper and lead anode slimes. Although the chemistry and metallurgy has been described and discussed by many authors, few, if any, have described the environmental impact of these activities. Dust and especially selenium emissions are a problem both in the internal working environment as well as in the external environment.
