A water model with a geometric similarity ratio of 1: 5 was developed to investigate the gas-
liquid mass transfer and flow characteristics in a Peirce–Smith converter. A gas mixture of …

SYNOPSIS Peirce-Smith converters (PSCs) are extensively used in the copper, nickel, and
platinum group metals industries. The typical converting operation involves lateral purging of …

The side-blown smelting process is becoming popular in the modern metallurgical industry
due to its large potential for dealing with complex materials. To further enhance its efficiency …

Pyro-metallurgical processes are multiphase in nature involving gas-liquid-solid
interactions. In the Peirce-Smith converter operation, the additions of cold solids in liquid …

Building on previous work reported in the literature, a dynamic model of the operation of the
Peirce-Smith Converter has been developed to describe the distribution of the major …

Le convertissage par méthode Pierce-Smith (PS) est l'étape clé de la production de cuivre et
du nickel. Cette opération se poursuit par des étapes séquentielles et présentent un cas …

This dissertation covers research carried out over the past 20 years in the area of knowledge
engineering in mineral processing, specifically with regard to process data as a form of …
