Ausmelt technology opens up new opportunities for the economic processing of complex copper smelter dusts. Not only can the technology separate more of the unwanted elements to produce a clean blister copper for refining, but it can also allow production of fume and precious metal products that can be readily upgraded to produce high-grade, valuable products. Developments in the processing of copper-bismuth-gold flue dusts left over after the smelting of bismuth-bearing concentrates in flash furnaces are described, including pilot-plant trials and process and equipment development. Design considerations and capital and operating costs for the proposed plant are discussed. 相似文献

Inco pioneered the use of tonnage oxygen in nonferrous metallurgy when it commissioned the first industrial oxygen flash smelting process for the treatment of copper concentrates in the early 1950s. This was followed by other applications of oxygen such as the enrichment of reverberatory furnace and Peirce-Smith converter blasts; oxy-fuel smelting in reverb furnaces; and, very recently, flash conversion of chalcocite to copper. Inco is currently implementing a sulfur dioxide abatement project designed to reduce SO2 emissions from the smelter by 60 percent (to 265 kt) in 1994. At that time, oxygen consumption at the smelter will reach about 1.7 t O2/t Cu+Ni. Oxygen smelting and converting technology will lead toa substantial decrease in the use of fossil fuels and to the generation afhigh-strength SO2 off-gases suitable for cost-effective fixation in a new acid plant. 相似文献

Nonferrous pyrometallurgical processes today operate at a high intensity requiring the best standards for the furnace refractory systems. From one plant to another, there is a range of process conditions such as temperature, slag chemistry, and feed types, and each of these parameters can influence refractory life. It is generally understood that process changes at plants can impact refractory life. The ability to test and understand refractory responses to a wide range of furnace operating conditions is therefore important. The RHI Technology Centre in Leoben, Austria is well equipped with laboratory and pilot plant facilities to evaluate refractory suitability over the range of conditions encountered in modern nonferrous pyrometallurgical systems. This article describes refractory testing at the RHI Technology Centre of the impact of two metallurgical slags on a number of different RHI test bricks. The slags were a fayalite slag and a calcium ferrite slag supplied by two smelter plants. High-temperature corrosion tests were carried out in a 250-mm-diameter induction furnace and a 165-mm-diameter short rotary kiln; each unit was lined with a number of refractory bricks and tested against attack by the particular slag. After testing, the refractory bricks were subjected to several laboratory tests to determine the extent of corrosion. Optimal refractory choices for the customers’ plants were developed based on the test results. 相似文献

The developments in the aluminum markets demand that more use be made of the information available within a smelter. Quality must be made measurable and verifiable; the organization continually must be optimized, and the production processes must be steadily improved. Costs have to be supervised, deviations immediately reported, countermeasures taken at once. These elements offer protection against the pressure of the market and allow competitive high-tech products to be produced and timely investments to be targeted and made. With the help of information technology, it is ever more possible to keep up with these demands. This article describes the design and realization of a completely integrated data transmission system in a modern aluminum smelter operated by VAW Aluminium AG. Several examples of practical implementation are given. 相似文献

While the vast majority of the world’s nickel is produced using pyrometallurgical techniques, the equipment and processes employed in such production encompass a variety of technologies. Even though certain patterns are followed by many companies, the nature of the raw materials dictates how process parameters will vary from smelter to smelter. In addition, much remains unknown about nickel smelting. Further work is clearly required in such areas as the thermochemistry of sulfide, oxide and metal systems, correlation of industrial data with theoretical information and techniques to improve equipment design. 相似文献

Since 1973 Bamangwato Concessions Limited (BCL) has operated a nickel-copper smelter in Selebi-Phikwe, Botswana. The smelter
treats concentrates from local mines and various custom feed concentrates. The nickel throughput capacity of this smelter
is constrained by a low nickel feed grade in its primary BCL concentrate. BCL contracted Xstrata Process Support (XPS) to
assist in identifying key economic drivers to maximize revenue-generating opportunities. After the disclosure of essential
BCL plant performance data XPS developed and utilized advanced metallurgical modeling techniques to identify production bottlenecks,
calculate Ni, Cu, and Co recoveries, manage the slag volumes, increase the custom feed capacity, and perform various feasibility
analyses for key unit process operations in the BCL smelter. The methodology for developing the process model and its application
in contributing to the economic bottom line are outlined in this paper. 相似文献

In early 1992, Kennecott announced plans to modernize and expand the smelter and refinery located near Salt Lake City, Utah. The project increased the smelter capacity from 150,000 tonnes per year to 280,000 tonnes per year and also increased the refinery capacity from 200,000 tonnes per year to meet smelter output. Total cost of the modernization was $882 million. Part I of this paper outlines the scope of the refinery modernization program and describes the implementation of the new technology used there. The technology is based on polymer concrete cells, thoroughly prepared anodes, stainless steel plating blanks, and highly automated materials handling. In Part II, the hydrometallurgical process chemistry employed at the new Kennecott slimes treatment facility is described. The processing philosophy incorporates three major objectives: very-high firstpass recovery of the valuable metals from the slimes with minimal in-process inventory; minimization of the return of impurity metals (e.g., Pb, Sb, As, and Bi) to the smelter circuit; and complete elimination of pyrometallurgical processing with its potential for environmental abuse and precious metals recycle. In both parts, the unit start-ups and initial operating results are presented. 相似文献

This paper describes the results of pilot plant testwork on a novel single stage zinc solution purification process using a vibratory reactor. This technique was modified for continuous cadmium cementation. There are distinct advantages to combining an intensely agitated reactor with a high mass of precipitant per unit volume in the form of granular zinc instead of zinc dust, including significant reduction of cementation agent consumption and substantial upgrading of the cadmium cement. This technique has the potential to minimize equipment, reduce plant size, and diminish operating costs. 相似文献

Dilute oxygen combustion (DOC) technology uses separate high-velocity fuel and oxygen jets to generate strong in-furnace gas
recirculation, producing combustion between the fuel and a highly diluted oxygen and furnace-gas mixture. These very low NOx
oxy-fuel burners have been developed and commercially demonstrated in steel reheating furnaces. The burner design meets industry
needs for increased productivity and lower operating costs with minimal capital expense and low maintenance. The performance
of DOC technology has been measured under laboratory and industrial conditions encompassing both natural gas and coke oven
gas firing, and a wide range of furnace temperatures and nitrogen levels that simulate air infiltration. This paper describes
the results of the tests using natural gas as the fuel and lists potential applications for DOC technology in the non-ferrous
metals industry.

Estimating the impact of inert-anode and wettable-cathode technologies on smelter costs must be speculative because no such
technologies have yet been commercialized. Even so, some broad conclusions can be drawn about the economic merit of inert
anodes in retrofit and greenfield smelter scenarios. Study suggests that retrofitting inert anodes to existing prebake cells
generates insufficient economic benefit to justify this objective. Drained cathode cells offer potential for energy savings
coupled with increased production, provided that the cell life is greater than three years. Unlocking the potential value
of both inert anode and wettable cathode materials will require their use in vertical electrode configurations, where the
impact on operating costs and, particularly, capital costs, is expected to be significant. To be economically and technically
viable, vertical electrode cells will require wear rates of less than approximately 5 mm per year on the inert electrode surfaces,
much less than has so far been reported.

发电厂热力设备的停用腐蚀,多年来大多是锅炉侧和汽机侧单独考虑其防锈蚀的方法;由于有些设备的防锈蚀办法比较规范和可靠,而有些设备的防锈蚀方法效果甚微,有些设备还无可靠的防锈蚀方法;所以,在因检修等原因停运后,即使对部分设备实施了有效的保护,但因有的设备无有效保护,而使得机组启动后,系统中的腐蚀产物(铁含量.)长时间达不到标准要求,从而影响了汽水品质和热力设备的安全经济运行。目前众多停炉保护方法都不同程度地存在缺点和局限性,尤其是对大机组的过热器、再热器和液态排渣炉的停(备)用保护,结合我公司对热力设备的停(备)用保护研究和实践,我们决定使用目前效果最好的停用保护方法:药剂成膜保护法。药剂成膜保护法所用药剂为十八烷胺,它与金属表面接触后,会很容易在金属表面上形成一层分子膜,把空气与金属隔绝,从而防止水及大气中氧、二氧化碳对金属的腐蚀。 相似文献

Chile has seven copper smelters, four that are linked to primary producers (three owned by Codelco and one by Disputada) and
three custom smelters (two owned by Enami and one by Noranda). Each smelter employs a different strategy for slag cleaning,
thus each smelter obtains different results. This article outlines and compares the different slag-cleaning systems that are
currently in operation in the Chilean smelters, their strategies, the equipment in use, and their experiences.
