Addressing the Environmental Issues

High level of raw material use complexity

Nowadays all technologically recovered minerals are represented by 18 final products.

The main ecological disadvantage of this technology is substantial volume of sinter section poor sulfurous gases formation and lack of experience in the world how to transformthem into sulfuric acid.

Implementation of new process instead of «Sintering – Blast Furnace» has been planned for the latter half of the year 2012. Which will result in environmental benefits with reduced annual emissions of sulfur dioxide on the Lead Plant from 31 000 tonnes (2006) up to 14 000 tonnes.
