(\u201cDST\u201d or the \u201cCorporation\u201d) (CSE: DST) is proud to announce that EcoMetales Limited (\u201cEcoMetales\u201d, a 100% Codelco subsidiary) has selected DST, amongst other companies, to test the DST technology in order to go ahead with a collaboration agreement (as mentioned in, and referring to, DST press release dated September 15th, 2015) and process residues that contain sulphides species\/elements as flue dusts (the \u201cFlue Dusts\u201d) produced by Chilean operations, using DST\u2019s proprietary Technology.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">DST received one Tonne of Flue Dusts from EcoMetales, in March 2016, to be used for the testing program. This program is to demonstrate that Flue Dusts can be successfully treated, to recover the metallic units contained as sulphide in the Flue Dusts and to stabilize the arsenic using DST\u2019s vitrification technology as a complement to EcoMetales Technology (scorodite).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Flue Dusts from roasters are produced through copper concentrates roasting. During the process, most of the arsenic is volatilised and reports in the Flue Dusts as arsenic trioxide sulphide along with finely divided metal or metallic compounds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This program is part of a phased approach established between DST and EcoMetales with the objective of implementing a processing facility, utilizing DST\u2019s patented technology, in Chile, given that the results are positive, suitable and convenient with others that EcoMetales is studying.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About EcoMetales Limited, a Chilean state-owned company<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">EcoMetales Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Codelco Technologies Ltd, providing environmental solutions and metal recovery processes for the mining industry. The company was founded in 2001 to contribute to resolving the problems created by the disposal of mining waste. Using applied research, EcoMetales creates innovative and environmentally sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With facilities in northern Chile, which are the major industrial plants worldwide to treat and transform arsenic to scorodite, (technology patented by EcoMetales), EcoMetales currently processes residues from Codelco\u2019s Divisions, recovering value and transforming the arsenic as scorodite and disposing at their own landfill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":651000,"template":"","class_list":["post-39474","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dundeetechnologies.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/39474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dundeetechnologies.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dundeetechnologies.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dundeetechnologies.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
