2. FUNDAMENTALS IN COPPER SMELTER OPERATION The Cu pyrometallurgy process treats Cu concentrates to produce Cu that is then electro refined by an electrochem- ical step in aqueous acid media. The Cu concentrates are copper and iron sulfides mineral in form of particles with sizes under 150 µm.
Pyrometallurgical process is one that involves a high temperature (above 1200 °C) smelting process to break down and treat spent battery materials (Fig. 1 A) (Georgi-Maschler et al., 2012).Essentially, spent LIBs are burnt in a furnace without any kind of pretreatment steps. Their components are broken down into subcomponents while …
The grades of nickel and iron are improved from 2.13% and 51.12% to 8.15% and 64.28%, and the recovery of nickel is improved from 75.40% to 97.76%. The research results show that the additive in favor of the phase changes from lizardite phase to forsterite phase. The additive promotes agglomeration and separation of nickel and iron. Full article

Most of the actual pyrometallurgical processes used in the industry are based on relatively mature technologies: the injection of natural gas and oil via the tuyeres of blast furnaces used for the production of pig iron has been introduced in the 1960s 12; prebaked carbon anodes used in Hall–Héroult cells for the primary production of aluminum have …
Common metals present in e-waste are lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu) along with some valuable metals such as rare earth metals, Pt group elements, alkaline and radioactive metals (Supplementary Figure S1). If the amount of metals exceeds the permissible level, then …
It is in the blast furnace that extraction of iron occurs. The extraction of iron from its ore is a long and subdued process, that helps in separating the useful components from the waste materials such as slag. What happens in the Blast Furnace? The purpose of a Blast Furnace is to reduce the concentrated ore chemically to its liquid metal state.

The effect of oxygen on interfacial phenomena between slag and copper melt was investigated at 1400 °C. The removal of impurities (iron and silicon) in the copper melt during oxygen blowing was….
Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use.The most common types of ore, copper oxide and copper sulfide, undergo two different processes, hydrometallurgy and …
Abstract. The pyrometallurgical processing of copper varies worldwide with respect to the charge materials, process, operating parameters, and the physical shape, size, and orientation of the vessel. Plant operations may be either batch, semi-continuous, or fully continuous to produce blister copper or other end product.
During the reduction roasting, additive CaO reacted with Fe 2 SiO 4 of copper slag, forming CaO·SiO 2 and 2CaO·SiO 2, which ameliorates the separation between iron and other minerals during magnetic separation. Meanwhile, additive CaF 2 improved the growth of iron grains, increasing the iron grade and iron recovery. The …
Copper matte converting is an essential process in copper pyrometallurgy. Replacing traditional batch converting in Peirce–Smith converters (PSCs), continuous converting is becoming a new trend. In this work, a thermodynamic modeling of the copper matte continuous converting process was carried out under actual production conditions. …
Metal recovery methods from CS can be mainly divided into pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. Traditional Pyrometallurgy methods include using coke as a reducing agent to separate and recover Fe in oxide state ...

In the copper refining process (Fig. 1 (a)), the mined rock is first ground in a crushing unit [5] and then separated, typically via a floatation unit, into sulphide-containing (chalcocite (Cu 2 S), covellite (CuS) and chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2)), and oxide-containing (tenorite (CuO) and cuprite (Cu 2 O)) products.The sulphide ore is processed via a …
Pyrometallurgy is a metallurgical process used to extract metals or their compounds from metallurgical raw materials or to refine them at high temperature. ... pyrometallurgy is used only for the main refining process and other processes are adopted for refining (such as copper and nickel), or some isolated pyrometallurgy processes …
Pyrometallurgy has been widely used throughout history and remains a crucial method for extracting and refining metals such as iron, copper, lead, and aluminum. It is particularly suitable for ores or concentrates with high metal content and those that require high-temperature reactions for effective separation and purification.
