Direct pyrometallurgical processing of heavy-metals-contaminated soils, sands, and dust is often better suited for materials with higher levels of contamination however, it can be effective for low-level contamination as well. The technology is also well suited to process-concentrated heavy metals that have been generated by on-site screening or soil washing (personal communication, M. Thomas, The Doe Run Company, 10/97).

A second pilot plant, based on the same technology, is currently operating in the research laboratory of The Doe Run Company at Viburnum, Missouri, U.S.A., treating primary lead sulphide concentrates with very promising results.
