Indium prices vary by purity level according to the number of mines. For 99.97 or 99.99% pure indium Meta/Bu//etm magazine s free-market prices ranged from 160 to 190/kg in 1993. Prices have trended downward since 1988. This, coupled with the fact that consumption increased during this period, is evidence that supply is ahead of demand. The most notable production increases have occurred at Indium Corp. of America, Nippon Mining Co. Ltd., Cominco Ltd., and Metaleurop S.A. The largest increase was made by Indium Corp. A 30-t increase was announced in 1988 in 1993 Indium Corp. announced plans to increase production by another 30 t to be phased in with demand, bringing the company s actual and planned increases to 60 metric tons over the 1988 level.

Either of the general systems used at Tsumeb or Metaleurop will be appropriate for use depending on local conditions. 

Key reasons for the selection of Ausmelt technology for lead smelting by Metaleurop, Tsumeb and Korea Zinc are the excellent environmental performance, capital and operating cost profiles and process flexibility provided in a compact high intensity smelter system. 

The Ausmelt technology plant, designed to process 120,000 tonnes per year of mixed concentrates and secondary materials to produce 90,000 tonnes of bullion, commenced operations in March 1996. After initial teething problems were overcome, the smelter is now achieving the results envisaged at the project commencement, as reported by Metaleurop (1). 

The environmental performance of the Metaleurop furnace in regard to fugitive emissions has been optimised via the use of a sealed feed port and the use of a lance to lance port water seal. 

The smelter capital cost of FF290 million in 1995 and a 20% reduction in operating cost when compared to the earlier technology plant have been reported by Metaleurop for the...
