Show January 12, 1970 OIL & MINING JOURNAL King Silver signs agreement with Shell Oil The management of King Silver Corporation announces an agreement with the Shell Oil Co., of Farmington, New Mexico. Shell Oil has agreed to drill the well to a depth of 12,000 feet or into the top of the Wasatch Formation, whichever occurs first. By terms of the agreement, King Silver will contribute an interest, some of which is directly offsetting the Sheel Oil Miles No. 1. interest, based on a 320 acre spacing, which would have to be decided by ?tthe Utah Oil and Gas Commission. Shell Oil is currently drilling at a depth of 7,900 feet, and expect to have the well drilled to total depth by about the end of Should the well be undivided 50 interest under productive, King Silver some 190 acres in and around Corporation would be carried well site in Duchesne County, free on the first well for its pro-rat- e interest of 15320 acre Utah.

That will leave Kennecott with a net effectiveness of nearly 70 percent on sulfar dioxide 0 Kennecott Copper Corp.s Utah Copper Division will start up its No. 7 acid production plant. It will additional yield sulfuric acid for Kennecotts use in mining or sale to customer. But equally important, it will considerably reduce the amount of sulfur dioxide gas produced in the smelting process-anothstep in clearing the air,a much discussed subject these days in the Salt Lake Valley. The acid is recovered from sulfur dioxide, which otherwise would escape as a gas. The firm built its first acid recovery plant in 1916. It is no longer operating. Since 1945 five other plants have been built, occasionally modified, and operating. The last was completed in 1967. The new plant - an $8 million unit - will reduce the present stack emission by one-thiror 100 tons of sulfur dioxide a' day, according to C. Arthur Zeldin, smelting and refining manager. This is principally gas that is produced in the converters. The converters are where recovery. The remaining from comes reverberatory furnaces is much more difficult than recovering from the converters, notes Mr. Zeldin. The firm is working on the technology, he said. One possiblity is to get more concentrate directly to the converters, thus reducing the 30 percent reverberatory furnace gases. It is in the reverberatory furnaces that the er copper concentrate, load with additions of fluxing material, is melted to form the matte. The technology of recovering sulfur dioxide from copper ed the solid matter and sulfur dioxide That is another part of the problem, and we are working on it,he said. The plant will have capacity of about 500 tons of sulfuric acid a day, bringing total overall capacity to 1,900 tons. Kennecott uses sulfuric acid in reverbratory its furnaces. The d reduction of the invisible sulfur dioxide will not affect the present plume from the smelter stack - which is composed in part of particulate new supplementary copper recovery programs as a leaching agent. It also sells acid to one-thir- fertilizer phosphate manufacturers and other to users, the chemical and mining in industry. In the recovery process, the gas is first purged of its heavier dust particulates by gravity settling. Then the gas is cooled and passed through an electrostatic precipitator to recover the finer dust elements. From there the gas is taken to. the acid plant where it goes through a number of steps, including drying, then mixing with a catalyst to form sulfur trioxidc. The sulfur trioxidc is then absorbed in concentrated sulfuric acid. FOLLOW THE SUN FOR A THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NEITHER AN OFFER TO SELL NOR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY ANY OF THESE SECURITIES.
