Excerpt from Injury to Vegetation and Animal Life by Smelter WastesThe blast furnace receives a charge consisting essentially of the high-grade ores, converter slag, briquettes of siliceous fines and slimes from the concentrator, limestone, and coke. A large part Of the sulphur passes off to the ¿ue as sulphur dioxid and trioxid, and large amounts of arsenic are volatilized. The iron and silica in the ore, together with the lime, form a slag (containing a very small amount of copper) which is granulated in water and carried to the dump, the copper forms a matte consisting principally of a combination of copper, iron, and sulphur. This, together with the matte from the reverberatory furnaces, is next carried to the converters, the lining of which is a siliceous material that lasts for several runs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
