Mineralogy and Geochemistry of the Kinnikinic Quartzite at the Arco Hills Silica and Gold Project in Butte County, Idaho: Results of an Ore Quality Spot Check and Implications for Potential Plasma Furnace Processing

Mineralogy and Geochemistry of the Kinnikinic Quartzite at the Arco Hills Silica and Gold Project in Butte County, Idaho: Results of an Ore Quality Spot Check and Implications for Potential Plasma Furnace Processing

Plasma furnace processing has the potential to transform solar cell production. If informed decisions regarding silicon ore and mineral exploration can be made such that waste streams are also of high economic value, then production is ultimately more environmentally integrated. This study presents...
