Abstract: 4371. Bayerische Akt. - Ges. f³r Chemische und Landwirthschaftlich- Chemische Fabrikate, Hackl, H., and Bunzel, H. June 25, 1912, [Convention date]. Ferric oxide; zinc chloride ; copper oxychloride and other copper salts. -Copper compounds are used as oxygen carriers in the treatment of the liquor obtained bv leaching cupriferous spent pyrites after a chloridizing roast and cementing out the copper by iron. The liquor is oxidized by air by the aid of a small quantity of the crude cupriferous liquor, a base, for instance chalk, being added to precipitate the iron. The remaining zinc liquor is then treated with air, preferably with the addition of a base, until all the copper is separated in a basic form, and this may be used again or worked up for the production of copper salts. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the added copper and the iron may be precipitated together by continuing the action of the air, the copper being dissolved out of the precipitate by more crude liquor. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
