Техногенные отходы – новый источник сырья цветных, благородных, редких и токсичных металлов Алмалыкского горно-металлургического комбината

The results of the integrated study of metal waste from Almalyk Mining-Metallurgical Plant (AMMP) are reported. Non-ferrous, noble and rare-metal reserves in waste from the dressing and metallurgical conversion of copper-molybdenum and lead-zinc deposits were evaluated. Analysis of the chemical composition and distribution of non-ferrous, noble, rare and toxic metals and their mode of occurrence in artificial waste from AMMP has shown that they are highly complex ores which could be used to increase metal production at AMMP.
