Although a number of arsenic minerals such as arsenopyrite (Fe As S); orpiment (As3 S3), and realgar (As2 S2) are known, commercial supplies of arsenic are obtained almost entirely as a by-product from the gases evolved during the roasting of metallic ores containing arsenides and sulpharsenides, particularly those of lead, copper, gold and tin. The name 'arsenic' should be reserved for the metallic element, but in commerce it is frequently used to designate arsenious oxide AS203 or white arsenic, a practice which is followed in this review.
