Other products

Refined lead, sulphuric acid, copper sulphate, nickel sulphate and technical selenium are products that KGHM obtains during copper ore processing operations. The company is constantly investing in new technologies and solutions that facilitate the production of these products.

LEAD

KGHM produces yearly 30 thousand tonnes of crude lead, which is later refined. Lead processing takes place at the "Legnica" Smelter in Poland, in the modern Lead Production Department, operated since 2007. Refined lead is used for the production of batteries and lead oxide. KGHM invests in projects that not only increase the production of this metal, but also make it possible to manage lead-bearing materials collected on heaps. Such investments are extremely important ecologically as they reduce the impact of smelters on the environment.

SULPHURIC ACID

Sulphuric acid is an important by-product of the smelting porcess. The annual production is 600 thousand tonnes. Sulphuric acid has a broad use in fertilizer production and in chermchal industry. It is used to produce phosphorus fertilizers, phosphorous acid, dyes, cellulose, batteries and explosives. It is solnd aminly in  Europe with any surplus exported to North and South Americas. KGHM owns a sulphuric acid distribution terminal in Szczecin with a handling capacity of approx. 33 thousand tonnes of acid.
