Detailsconcentrate was an optimal raw material for the Direct-to-Blister smelting [2]. In 1999 the first smelter was replaced with a new line, and the original production capacity was almost quadrupled. The next commissioning of a Direct-to-Blister Flash Smelting line will take place in 2008 at Konkola Copper Mines Plc. (KCM) in Zambia [3], where the
DetailsNov 12, 2013· In this work, a computational thermodynamic model of direct to blister copper smelting is described and then used to examine the differences between the smelting of a high iron chalcopyrite concentrate and a low iron bornite concentrate. The rapid decrease in copper recovery as the iron content of the concentrates increases is …
DetailsJan 01, 2019· In 1978, the Outotec direct to blister flash (DBF) smelting process was commercialized with the commissioning of the Glogow 2 smelting facility in Poland. Since then four further DBF facilities have been constructed, two at Olympic Dam, one in Zambia and most recently one at Glogow 1 in Poland.

DetailsBlister copper is produced from copper oxides or dead-roasted copper sulfides in a cyclic smelting process using a carbon reductant. In the first stage of the cycle, carbon reductant is added to the furnace charge in stoichiometric excess to form a copper-depleted slag and a molten black copper fraction. The slag is tapped, leaving black copper in the furnace, and …
