Process modeling and intelligent system in copper smelter --- The concept of future smart smelter
نویسنده
چکیده
Process modeling today is an integral part of process development and design, operation optimization, process control, business evaluation and decision-making. This paper reviews the application of process modeling and simulation in copper metallurgy and discusses its further development, i.e. an intelligent system for smelter. A concept of future smart smelter that is an integration of intelligent system and process control for achieving best performance is introduced

متن کاملImpact of copper mines and smelter on groundwater quality (Case Study: Rajasthan State in India)
Rajasthan is one of the main mineral potential state of India. During the last 30 years it has witnessed enormous expansion of mining industries, but mining of most of the minor minerals coupled with changing climate has posed serious problems to the environmental fabric in the state, apart from base metal beneficiation plants. Groundwater is also being polluted day-by-day by effluents generate...

متن کاملHeavy metal concentration of soils affected by Zn-smelter activities in the Qeshm Island, Iran
In this study, concentrations of heavy metals in soils around a Zn-smelter in Qeshm island, Iran, are investigated. Calculated geoaccumulation index (Igeo), contamination factor (Cf), and contamination degree (Cdeg) values indicate surface soil contamination by toxic metals (As, Cd, Pb, and Zn). The results also indicate that most contaminated areas are located in the vicinity of the smelter an...
متن کاملRecent operation and environmental control in the Kennecott Smelter
The new Kennecott Utah Copper smelter, started in 1995, was designed to be the cleanest smelter environmentally in the world. The plant is operating at production rates above the original design capacity. Copper concentrate is smelted in an Outokumpu flash smelting furnace. Matte is granulated and processed using Kennecott-Outokumpu flash converting. Copper anodes are processed in a modernized ...
