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.

The treatment of copper refinery anode slimes
There are numerous viable approaches to the treatment of anode slimes from electrolytic copper refining. Of particular interest in the treatment of slimes are the behavior and recovery of selenium.…
