IN THE REMOVAL OF ARSENIC FROM PARTICULATE SULFIDE-ARSENIDE ORE CONCENTRATES CONTAINING NONFERROUS METALS, SULFUR AND ARSENIC; THE PROCEDURE FOR ELIMINATING ARSENIC WHICH COMPRISES: ADMIXING THE PARTICLES WITH AN AQUEOUS SULFURIC ACID LEACH LIQUOR TO FORM A SLURRY, HEATING THE SLURRY AT A TEMPERATURE FROM ABOUT 250* F. TO ABOUT 650* F. AND UNDER A PRESSURE AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE VAPOR PRESSURE OF THE SLURRY AT THE REACTION TEMPERATURE WITH INTRODUCTION OF AN OXYGEN-CONTAINING GAS, AND CONTINUING THE HEATING UNTIL THE DISSOLUTION OF NON-FERROUS METALS IS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE AND SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE ARSENIC IS OXIDIZED, SAID AQUEOUS SULFURIC ACID LEACH LIQUOR HAVING AN ACID CONTENT GREATER THAN PH 4.5 BUT LESS THAN ABOUT 10% FREE ACID.
