| General | The Auby smelter is located in the town of Auby in the north of France, approximately 35 kilometres south of the city of Lille. The plant is situated on a site of 138 hectares. It is adjacent to the canal de la Deûle, which connects to the seaport of Calais, and is well connected to several motorways. Zinc smelting at the site dates back to 1869. The majority of site production is sold to the Umicore building product plant located adjacent to the aite, as well as to Nyrstar Balen/Overpelt for conversion into alloys. In addition to producing standard zinc cathodes, the plant also produces a significant quantity of higher quality battery-grade cathodes The site's by-products include sulphuric acid, Auby leach product, copper and an indium concentrate. | |
