Reported for this deposit
Indium and germanium leave the same zinc-process dross at very different rates in the same acids: germanium exceeds 80 per cent in both sulphuric and oxalic acid, while indium reaches about 80 per cent in sulphuric acid only when heated to 80 degrees Celsius and manages about 20 per cent in oxalic acid.
