King Assistant Professor of Metallurgy at MIT, is proposing a direct sulfide electrolysis process to simplify copper extraction and eliminate noxious byproducts. They are dependent on electricity already to exist. The idea for direct sulfide electrolysis dates to as early as 1906. And electricity allows that.
