Large amounts of copper slag are produced every year and major fractions of it are currently
disposed, not withstanding the multiple ways the material can be used. Application of the …

Equilibria among the slag, matte and metal phases in the Cu-Fe-OS-Si system are critically
assessed using thermodynamic modeling. The relationships among matte grade …

To address the increasing complexity of feed materials to pyrometallurgical processes, an
integrated experimental and thermodynamic modeling research program is in progress to …

The phase equilibria of the PbO−“CuO 0.5” and PbO−“CuO 0.5”−“FeO 1.5” slag systems in
equilibrium with solid metallic copper and/or liquid metallic lead− copper alloy were studied …

The distributions of zinc and other elements in the Cu–Fe–S–Si–O–(Zn) system among slag,
matte and metal phases were determined experimentally at 1200° C (1473 K). The …

Abstract Al 2 O 3, CaO, and MgO are present as impurities in fayalite-based copper smelting
systems. A thermodynamic database has been developed to characterize the effects of …

To assist in improving the recoveries of gold and silver in both primary production and
metals' recycling, the distributions of Ag and Au between slag, matte, and metal in the Cu–Fe …

The pyrometallurgical production and recycling of non-ferrous metals involves the use of
complex feed stocks, having a wide range of chemical compositions from sources that …

An integrated experimental study and thermodynamic modelling approach has been used in
the investigation of the distribution of As between slag and matte in equilibrium with tridymite …

Flash smelting and flash converting are mature technologies in copper and nickel sulfide
smelting. The sensitivity of operation concerning the furnace design is evident. It is obvious …
