A. 8 product enrichment: Product of primary processing of ore and secondary raw materials with the aim of improving the concentration of non-ferrous metals, including precious, by the removal of gangue or components that do not contain base and precious metals.

A. 9 the refining of metals and alloys: Technological methods and techniques of removal of impurities of non-ferrous metals, including precious and/or their alloys with the purpose of bringing their quality in compliance with the regulations.

A. 10 reagent: a Substance added to the reaction mixture to ensure the flow of the chemical reactions and physical-chemical transformations in the process of production of non-ferrous metals, including precious materials and products based on them.

A. 11 the sorbent (ion exchanger): Synthetic or mineral is a solid substance containing positively or negatively charged active groups, capable upon contact with solutions to topochemically exchanged for the corresponding ions of the dissolved metals.

A. 12. sintering: a Process occurring during the heating and aging of the mixtures of ores, concentrates and mineral raw materials, intermediate products of metallurgical production with the participation or without the participation of the reagents in order to convert the metal compounds to the desired chemical form for further processing or for the purpose of agglomerating fine-grained or powdered materials at temperatures below the melting point to give the latter required physicochemical properties.

A. 13 thiourea solution: Dilute acidic solution of thiourea, designed for the extraction of the precious metal.

14 A. Feinstein: Intermediate pyrometallurgical processing of sulphide ores of non-ferrous metals, including precious obtained by conversion of the matte.

A. 15 the non-ferrous metal: the code name of all metals, except chromium, manganese, iron and their alloys.

16 A. Stein: Intermediate pyrometallurgical processing of sulphide ores of non-ferrous metals, including precious, which is an alloy of iron sulfides with sulfides of nonferrous metals.

A. 17 electrolytic slime: multi-component fine powder or paste-like product containing non-ferrous metals, including precious, and hard-soluble compounds formed during anodic dissolution rough or electrorefining non-ferrous and precious metals.
