The Extractive Metallurgy of Lead
The seven major plants in the Lead Operations produce lead plus significant quantities of silver, gold, bismuth,
copper, and arsenic products. These plants are designed to treat a wide range of feed materials including lead
concentrates, various residues from the zinc plants, recycled lead battery scrap, lead scrap, and scrap copper.
