THE CONCEPT OF SLAG DECOPPERISATION IN THE FLASH FURNACE PROCESS BY USE OF COMPLEX REAGENTS

摘要

The article presents an outline of the new technology of pyrometallurgical processing of slag in the direct-to-blister process. The analysis is based on the example of the production process of KGHM Polish Copper SA. A new way of implementing the technology of recovery of copper from the flash furnace slag by means of different feedstocks has been proposed. The method of controlling the processes is another innovation discussed in the paper. The presented concept intensify the reduction reactions, using the Carbo-N-Ox method, of copper compounds to forms of metallic phases in the slag. The processes of coagulation are accelerated and the processes crystallization of metallic phases are under control.
