A Pioneering Breakthrough: Enhancing Metal Recovery from Slag

A Novel Method: Maximizing Metal Extraction Efficiency Enter the stage, the ingenious utilization of pyrite as a sulfurizing agent, revolutionizing the process of metal retrieval from slag. This groundbreaking sulfurization-reduction technique harmoniously merges theoretical thermodynamic insights with hands-on laboratory trials, culminating in a remarkable surge in metal recovery rates. Unprecedented Results: A Remarkable Leap Forward The results speak volumes – a staggering 98% retrieval rate for copper and zinc, alongside an impressive 90% for lead. The metamorphosis of what was once deemed waste into a treasure trove of valuable metals unveils a realm of possibilities in the metallurgical landscape. (Image

Turning the Corner: The Resurgence of Industrial Commodity Prices Green shoots for copper, nickel, zinc, aluminium prices 

In a recent trading desk note, Marcus Garvey, head of Macquarie commodities strategy based in Singapore, and a team of analysts, brought forth compelling evidence of the industrial commodity sector’s revival. According to the note, the full set of PMIs for January, particularly the world manufacturing new orders which saw a 1.2pp increase to 49.8, marks a potential turning point for the global industrial cycle, bearing bullish implications for industrial commodities demand. Furthermore, expectations of a smaller reduction in US interest rates this year, as opposed to previous estimates, have bolstered the dollar and exerted downward pressure on metal prices
