The problem Sudbury has to deal with is to clean the SO2 gas created by smelting the ore. Right now their process developed by Curlook, abates 90% of the sulphur dioxide gas to produce sulphuric acid for various industrial processes. I don't know why they don't mix the sulphide and laterite and shake and tuyere bake, adding chloride to the hot gas stream. Just a dream. Chloride to the stream. And you could catalyse the resultant dioxide effluent to 99.7% abatement of acid aerosol. yeppur. But they just plumb won't do it. It's just a dream. The process is called chloratization-sulfatization by the Russ. Then you add vanadium pentoxide chips for raising the oxide to S03. Scrub with oleum and water and you get aqueous acid. A few design changes. Trick is to maintain smelter efficiency by reheating. Can be done at just the right back pressure and heat flow. Perhaps leach and resin or aerogel extraction might work. Take sulfide acid from catalysis, and then pressure leach the laterites, extracting with aerogel or activated carbon beads. EC<:-}
