(593993) INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR COPPER SMELTING AND ELECTRIC SLAG CLEANING AND MATTE SETTLING FURNACES

摘要

Tenova Pyromet has developed innovative technologies for copper smelting and electric slag cleaning furnaces. Based on client feedback and requirements, innovative designs have been developed to address key design areas and improve furnace reliability, operability and hygiene. These developments include the NovaLance~(?) lance system to prevent lance bending on top submerged lance furnaces, the SlagFlo~(?) slag tapping flow control device to better control bath levels and tapping rate for granulation, and an electrode seal for improved sealing directly onto the electrode casing to allow water-cooled electrode components to be located above the furnace roof. The potential application and benefits of these innovative designs are discussed.
