Belgium’s Nyrstar has temporarily reopened an old lead processing plant in the state of South Australia after receiving a permit from the state’s environmental protection authority (EPA), it said on Monday.
Nyrstar, which was taken over by global trading house Trafigura in late July, had shut down its modern lead smelter furnace in Port Pirie, Australia, after an incident in early August in a second disruption at the plant this year.
