 Byproduct Sulfuric Acid.—Sulfur con. tamed in byproduct sulfuric
acid
produced at copper, lead, molybdenum, and zinc roasters and smelters amounted
to 8% of the total domestic production of sulfur in all forms. Production
was essentially the same as that of 1984 despite the closure of three copper,
one lead, and one zinc smelter 
 
during 1985. A copper smelter in Washington and another in Arizona were closed
permanently because the cost for installation of pollution control systems,
required by Federal law, had rendered the facilities uneconomic in terms
of existing and projected copper prices. Ten acid plants operated in conjunction
with copper smelters,
