DetailsModern smelters are designed to collect at least 90 percent of the sulfur in the feedstock. These steps result in the following reaction: 2 CuFeS2 + 2 SiO2 + 4O2 → Cu2S + 2 FeSiO3 + 3SO2. Copper extracted by this method is combined with slag to create a material known as Matte Copper due to its matte look.
DetailsEmission factors of Pb, As and Cr were 0.97, 5.92, and 0.28 g/t from copper smelting. Pb, As and Cr emission might be 30–60% underestimated by ignoring unfilterable PM. Fugitive emission contributed 70–90% of HMs to the atmosphere from copper smelting. Heavy metal emissions from non-ferrous smelting plants have been a rising …
DetailsThe leaching behaviors of primary copper (Cu) slags originating from Ausmelt, reverbatory, and converter furnaces operating under a single technological process were compared to a residual slag tailing obtained by slag re-processing via flotation and metal recovery. The EN 12457-2 leaching test, used for assessment of the …
DetailsThe production of copper in the flash smelting process is accompanied with a large amount of copper-rich slag, which has to be treated with the aim of copper recovery.
