Efficient recovery of valuable metals from copper smelting slag (CSS) can not only alleviate the pressure from resource scarcity, but also has important practical significance for the realization of green and sustainable production in the copper smelting industry. In this paper, a composite medium of FeS-O is used as a synergistic modifier to transform the solid-state valuable metals in CSS into leachable state of sulphates, and achieves efficient and comprehensive recovery of zinc and copper through neutral leaching. XRD, FTIR, XPS, etc and comparative analysis methods are used to deeply analyze the characteristics of occurrence phase and transformation rules of valuable metal in CSS, roasted slag and leached slag. The results show under the optimal roasting conditions of T = 650 °C, M: M = 1:1, V: V = 1:6 and t = 90 min, the recovery rate for zinc is approximately 95.1 %, and that for copper is 99.3 %, almost all of which is recovered. These findings provide a new method and process foundation and theoretical support for the efficient resource utilization of CSS.

Addressing the issues of low prediction accuracy and poor interpretability in traditional matte grade prediction models, which rely on pre-smelting input and assay data for regression, we incorporate process sensors' data and propose a temporal network based on Time to Vector (Time2Vec) and temporal convolutional network combined with temporal multi-head attention (TCN-TMHA) to tackle the weak temporal characteristics and uncertain periodic information in the copper smelting process. Firstly, we employed the maximum information coefficient (MIC) criterion to select temporal process sensors' data strongly correlated with matte grade. Secondly, we used a Time2Vec module to extract periodic information from the copper smelting process variables, incorporates time series processing directly into the prediction model.

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and -furans (PCDD/Fs) are contaminants of concern in the New York/New Jersey Harbor and in the organisms of the Newtown Creek Superfund site, which lies within the harbor. Because PCDD/Fs are never intentionally produced, identifying their sources can be challenging. In this work, sources of PCDD/Fs to the sediment of Newtown Creek were investigated using Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) to analyze two data sets containing data on concentrations of (1) PCDD/Fs and (2) PCDD/Fs plus polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Sulfide precipitation is considered as a very efficient method for removing arsenic from actual copper smelting acidic wastewater. However, the arsenic removal process can be affected by copper ions. This study focuses on the mechanism of copper ions' influence on the stability of As(III) sulfuration precipitation.

Pyrometallurgy has proven to be a highly effective method for the large-scale recycling of waste printed circuit boards (WPCB) in industrial settings. This study focused on the fast pyrolysis characteristics of WPCB at smelting temperatures and characterized the gas product release behavior and solid product features in detail. The results indicate that the pyrolysis gas was mainly composed of H, CH and CO, and the maximum yield of pyrolysis gas was obtained at 1300 °C, which was 233.

Punch-marked coins (PMCs) are the oldest coins in India and among the most widely circulated globally, often found in hoards that highlight their extensive use. This study utilizes X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to analyze the surface elemental composition and chemical properties of nine series (S-0 to S-VIII) of Janapada (S-0) and imperial PMCs (S-1 to S-VIII) dating from 600 to 200 BCE, housed in the Numismatic Society of India at BHU, Varanasi, based on the Gupta-Hardakar classification related to the PMCs. XRD results reveal four prominent diffraction peaks corresponding to metallic silver (Ag) in the face-centred cubic (fcc) phase, with a slight variation in d-spacing (∼ 0.
