The principal copper ore mineral is chalcopyrite CuFeS 2 which is commonly smelted to yield a matte containing ∼50% the presence of silica flux iron is selectively oxidized to a slag Figure 14 shows a PSD for the Cu Fe S O system at 1 atm SO 2 as a function of temperature Rosenqvist 1978 Unlike the system for lead the copper and Cu 2 S melts are nearly
The Copper Matte is converted into Blister Copper in the Pierce Smith Converter in two the first stage called Slag Blow most of the iron and a small quantity of sulphur are oxidised and removed In the second stage called Copper Blow sulphur is removed to get Blister Copper Process The plant has an installed capacity to
·It is well known that there are many ways to process copper concentrates into copper anodes using the pyrometallurgical route All modern copper smelting technologies are fundamentally energy efficient and environmentally safe options so choosing the right one depends on the desired capacity range feed impurity levels plant location flexibility needs
·Dissolution of copper in alumina bearing iron silicate slags in equilibrium with blister copper at 1300°C and P SO2 ≈1 atm; at 1% [S] alumina concentration is % Al 2 O 3
·Ivanhoe Mines Co Chairs Robert Friedland and Yufeng Miles Sun have announced that Kamoa Copper has awarded China Nerin Engineering of Jiangxi China with the basic engineering contract for the planned direct to blister flash smelter at the Kamoa Kakula Copper Complex that will incorporate leading edge technology supplied by Metso Outotec s
Mineral processing In the ore dressing plant the material received from the mine is crushed in several stages and finely ground to a size which ensures that copper minerals are liberated from the waste materials or cases where the next step is leaching most frequently in the case of oxide ores complete liberation of the copper minerals is not always necessary; the
Tin containing slag from pyrometallurgical recovery process of spent lead acid battery is a valuable secondary Sn resource However the low content of Sn 4 wt% in this slag with complex
·The ancient Cypriots pioneered pyrometallurgical processing of copper using the surrounding forest to supply energy for the process and adding fluxing materials from areas close to with an output of 300 000 tons per annum of blister copper The plant consists of an IsaSmelt furnace a matte settling electric furnace four Peirce Smith
·Consequently the direct to blister process cannot accept many copper concentrates In the new process at Fangyuan anode copper is produced in just three steps and two furnaces Smelting Furnace i after which it will be sent to the acid plant During the operations the maximum feeding rate has reached 207 t/h
·Since the continuous copper smelting in a single furnace has such problems as large amount of slag high copper content in slag blister copper matte and high content of other detrimental impurities the Mitsubishi process adopts three structurally separated and functionally continuous furnaces to do smelting slag cleaning and converting
·Kamoa Copper also is evaluating the construction of a smelting complex for the production of blister and anode copper A downstream processing facility has a compelling rationale significantly reducing the overall volumes of copper concentrate shipped from the mine and the cost of transportation and logistics export taxes and
·This paper shows how pyrometallurgical processing of copper concentrates has been developed in Chile and how the Teniente reactor was conceived and implemented Parra R Parada F Balladares E 2014 Continuous converting of copper matte to blister copper in a high intensity molten layer reactor J Met 66 1687 transferring process
·Pouring Kamoa Copper blister ingots containing approximately 99% copper at tailings from the processing plant with cement to produce paste backfill will begin pumping backfill to the underground operations in August million tonnes % copper 7
·greater blister copper mass In this case the lower copper content of slag has restricted the copper losses and hence the amount of blister copper is increased Table 3 Composition and viscosity of slags produced in direct to blister copper smelting Fluxing system Slag composition wt % Viscosity SiO 2 FeO Fe 2 O 3 Cu 2 MgO Al 2 3

The search for copper during this early period led to the discovery and working of deposits of native copper Sometime after 6000 bce the discovery was made that the metal could be melted in the campfire and cast into the desired shape Then followed the discovery of the relation of metallic copper to copper bearing rock and the possibility of reducing ores to the metal by the
·To mitigate possible environmental pollutions the direct to blister DTB route is an important process for copper making because a single SO2 concentrated stream can be produced In this study the ferrous calcium silicate FCS slag system for the DTB process with a CaO content of 15 wt pct was studied as well as its equilibria with spinel blister and gas
