عرض المزيدCopper From Beginning to End. Copper is a major metal and an essential element used by man. It is found in ore deposits around the world. It is also the oldest metal known to man and was first discovered and used about 10,000 years ago. And as alloyed in bronze (coppertin alloy) about 3000 BC, was the first engineering material known to man.
عرض المزيدCopper can be recycled indefinitely without the base metal being compromised and recycling of copper components can be carried out at the same time as the primary smelting by loading the scrap copper into the smelting furnace along with the copper ore.

عرض المزيدDuring the smelting process the liquid level in the furnace can rise and fall. Unlike a tuyere, the lance can be raised and lowered automatically or manually so that its tip is always where it is required. The products of the smelting ISASMELT™ process are tapped from the bottom of the furnace through a watercooled taphole.
عرض المزيدThe primary production of sulfide concentrates includes smelting to copper matte or blister copper, conversion of matte to blister copper, and refining to copper. Smelting, converting, and firerefining can use a limited amount of secondary materials. Molten copper can effectively dissolve many metals, from valuable noble metals to harmful impurities such as bismuth.
عرض المزيدISASMELT technology has been applied to lead, copper, and nickel smelting, and by 2013 fifteen plants were in operation in ten countries, with another five in various stages of development. The installed capacity of the operating plants in 2013 was over 8 million tonnes per year (t/y) of feed materials, with additional capacity to come on line in 2013 and 2014.
عرض المزيدA typical pyrometallurgical copper smelting process, as illustrated in Figure, includes 4 steps: roasting, smelting, concentrating, and fire refining. Ore concentration is roasted to reduce impurities, including sulfur, antimony, arsenic, and lead. The roasted product, calcine, serves as a dried and heated charge for the smelting furnace.
