Continuous leaching tanks for nickel<br />
concentrate in pilot-scale<br />
To produce high quality gold<br />
concentrate with very low<br />
arsenic grade and recovery<br />
To develop techniques for<br />
removal of trace level Asconcentrations<br />
as a polishing<br />
step before discharge to the<br />
environment<br />
To reduce the amount of<br />
released arsenic and minimize<br />
