Abstract
The paper reviews the current state of world and Russian markets of arsenic and its compounds, and shows prospects of the domestic market. The paper considers dynamics of world production of As and its prices over the last years. It assesses the need for arsenic and its compounds in the medium and long term, and analyzes trends of market development. The paper reviews manufacturers of this metal and As-compounds. Particular attention is paid to the market of high purity arsenic as a primary component for the growing market of gallium arsenide, for which purpose the paper provides a brief analysis of the current state of GaAs and GaAs-based devices market. It considers modern methods of deep arsenic purification, as well as the situation with arsenic emissions during roasting and smelting of non-ferrous metal raw materials in domestic enterprises. The paper discusses a problem of destruction of lewisite, mustard gas, and their mixture stockpiles in Russia. It analyzes proposals on the use of resulting reaction masses as an unconventional source of arsenic.
