The U.S. mining industry produces over 7,000,000 tonnes/yr of process residue that may contain hazardous species as well as valuable by-products. Process residues are generated by (a) smelter off-gas cleaning―5,500,000 tonnes/yr; and (b) bag house dust and wastewater treatment―2,100,000 tonnes/yr (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1995). The right technology may be able to recover marketable by-products from this process residue to generate revenue and reduce disposal costs for the mining industry. In fact, such a technology was invented by a small U.S. business, SepraDyne®, and is being developed and has been commercialized at an Arizona copper mine to treat smelter off-gas scrubber sludge. The process separates mercury from lead, copp...
