Settling of Copper Phases in Lime Modified Iron Silicate Slag

Copper in discarded slag decreases the profits and copper recovery during pyrometallurgical extraction processes. The losses to can be reduced by using a settling furnace, which mechanically entrained droplets separate from under action of gravity. rate increased modifying composition and, thus, properties, are known influence rate. knowledge industrial CaO modification iron silicate with Fe/SiO2 ratio close unity is limited. An trial was thus conducted an electric where had been pretreated fuming investigate effect on final content. Slag samples were collected ingoing outgoing within furnace batches modified up about 16 wt %. evaluated comparing content furnace. results indicate that becomes more efficient as decreased increasing
