Thermoanalytical investigation of a sample of Mount Gunson copper concentrate.
Investigates the likelihood of mineral concentrates becoming oxidized and liberating toxic sulphur dioxide gas during their transport to Japan. The sample examined is quite stable, but is not representative of the concentrate likely to be produced...-
