霍恩冶炼厂诺兰达连续吹炼转炉第一年运行情况

诺兰达连续吹炼工艺于 1997年 11月在加拿大魁北克的霍恩冶炼厂试车投产。由于试车小组的努力和该工艺的优越性 ,仅运行了几个月之后就达到了设计产量和环境目标。操作结果证明该工艺适用于从各种铜原料 (包括熔融冰铜、固体冰铜、返料和熔剂的混合料 )生产粗铜。本文介绍新的诺兰达转炉试车情况和第一年运行期间工艺的完善

First Year of Operation of the Noranda Continuous Converter

The Noranda continuous converting Process was commissioned in November 1997 at the Horne smelter in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada. Excellent team work and technical expertise contributed to achieve targeted production level and environmental goals after only a few months of operation. The operating results have demonstrated the flexibility of the process in producing blister copper from a variety of copper feed materials including a combination of molten and solid copper matte, reverts and fluxes. This paper describes the startup activities and process optimization tasks performed during the first year of operation of the new Noranda Converter.
