Abstract: A fire escape chamber includes a hermetically sealable outer cage with outer side wall elements, with an outer floor element and with an outer ceiling element. Fire protection insulation layers are provided on the inner sides of the outer elements with some fastened by pin elements, which protrude from the outer side wall elements and from the outer ceiling element into the respective fire protection insulation layers. An inner cage has inner side wall elements, an inner ceiling element and an inner floor element. The inner floor element is mounted in a supporting manner on the fire protection insulation layer of the outer floor element. The inner side wall elements and the inner ceiling element are formed by a plurality of support structure elements, on the inner sides of which panels are, in turn, fastened. The support structure elements are located at spaced locations from the pin elements.

Abstract: Process for extracting copper from copper-bearing arsenic sulfide and/or antimony sulfide ores, ore concentrates or minerals, comprising the following steps: converting the ores, ore concentrates or minerals by reaction with sulfur at 300 to 600° C. for at least 5 min; grinding the reaction product; physically separating the arsenic and/or antimony sulfides obtained at least partially from copper-containing sulfides; treating the separated copper-containing sulfides by pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical processes to obtain copper.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the extraction of metals from copper sulphide and/or copper iron sulphide ores with microbiological- and chemical-type leaching steps for dissolution of the metals, which comprises the following steps: 1) In a conversion step, prior to the leaching steps, the ores are converted to covellite, pyrites and admixed sulphides by the addition of sulphur, and 2) copper and other metals, noble metals and rare earths contained in the reaction product are extracted.
