Abstract: The invention is a process for treating waste slurry generated in the electric furnace production of phosphorus in which a superatmospheric reactor is operated at an elevated temperature to destroy cyanides, phosphorus, and phosphides present in the waste. The process transforms wastes from the phosphorus electric furnace process into non-hazardous solid, liquid, and gaseous wastes that meet environmental regulatory requirements regarding solids for phosphorous, cyanide, phosphine and cyanide flux, and TCLP metals, and regarding the filtrate for UTS metals.

Abstract: A process for treating precious metal tailing slurries with Caro's acid, in which the Caro's acid is accompanied by reduced amounts of Caro's acid mist, is disclosed. The hot Caro's acid-containing mixture, formed by reaction of concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, is quenched with water to reduce or eliminate the Caro's acid mist. The resulting cooled and diluted mixture is introduced into a precious metal tailings slurry to reduce the amount of cyanide values in the slurry.

Abstract: A process for reducing or eliminating Caro's acid mist, created when producing a hot mixture containing Caro's acid by reaction of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, is carried out by quenching the hot Caro's acid mixture with water to both cool and dilute the Caro's acid.

Abstract: Composition and method of making bicaroate and bicaroate/dipersulfate mixtures which are stabilized, in dry form, with a coherent coating of sodium borosilicate. The borosilicate is formed in situ by the reaction of a sodium silicate and a sodium metaborate.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing Caro's acid by reaction of at least 85% by weight sulfuric acid and at least 50% by weight hydrogen peroxide wherein the sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide are fed through separate feed lines into a funneling zone open to the atmosphere, the feed lines having air gaps between their ends and the funneling zone; passing said hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid by gravity flow from said funneling zone into one end of a reaction zone whose size permits a pressure drop which is at least 8 times the theoretical pressure drop for such reaction zone and removing a mixture containing Caro's acid from the exit end of the reaction zone.

Abstract: A process for treating effluents, such as precious metal tailings, having a pH of at least 9 and containing cyanide is described in which Caro's acid is added to the effluent having a pH of at least 9 and commencing the reaction of the cyanide with Caro's acid at 0.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. in the absence of an added alkali; adding sufficient Caro's acid within a mole ratio of Caro's acid to cyanide of 0.3/1 to 3/1 to reduce the pH of the effluent to below 9, continuing the reaction between Caro's acid and the cyanide to reduce the amount of cyanide remaining in the effluent and to recover an environmentally compatible effluent reduced in amounts of cyanide.
