Read MoreFlash smelting is a pyrometallurgical process for smelting metal sulphide concentrates. It is used primarily for copper sulphide concentrates, but it is also used to a significant extent for nickel sulphide concentrates. The flash smelting process for sulphide concentrates was developed by the Finnish mining company, Outokumpu Oy, from 1948 ...

Read MoreIn Copper Flash Smelting, flue dust can cause severe problems in the gas handling system, which typically consists of a heat recovery boiler and electrostatic precipitator. If the process is not operated properly, the flue dust may form accretions on the boiler wall, reducing boiler heat transfer and subjecting the surfaces to corrosion.

The modernization of copper smelter includes replacement of the old roaster/ reverberator furnace with more efficient autogenous flash smelting process.
Read MoreFlash Smelting has been well established in the copper and nickel industries and lead smelting has also been tested on a production scale in a pilot plant in Finland. During flash smelting the copper containing raw material, together with aggregates, is added to the furnace chamber; in addition, an oxygen-rich gas is also fed into the chamber.
