Recovering selenium and tellurium from copper refinery slimes
@article{Hoffmann1989RecoveringSA, title={Recovering selenium and tellurium from copper refinery slimes}, author={James E. Hoffmann}, journal={JOM}, year={1989}, volume={41}, pages={33-38} }
The significant amount of selenium and tellurium present in copper refinery slimes often makes the recovery of these elements not only desirable, but economically viable. While a variety of processes have been developed to this end, some are more feasible because they recover greater values and are environmentally safer.
