Description
Summary:The incidental concentration of valuable components that takes place during the processing of sulfide copper ore in Kazakhstan is accompanied by the formation of a semifinished product which contains large amounts of osmium, rhenium, and selenium. The article identifies products with high concentrations of rare micro-components, describes methods of extracting them, and discusses aspects of the technological behavior of rhenium, radiogenic osmium, and selenium.
