I am a relatively new subscriber, and find myself already asking for favors!  I am doing some
research for an air improvement project in Cairo, Egypt, and  am looking for some background
information on current lead smelting technologies.  In particular:

(1) the Kivcet process; a Russian technology (2) Imperial Smelter Process; developed in Bristol, England (3) QSL-Queneau, Schumann, Lurgi; used in a smelter in Trail, British Colombia.

These are relatively new processes that are supposed to increase the efficiency of lead production and present a positive environmental impact. I am really starting from square one on this, so any info would be helpful and much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance for your assistance.
