The invention provides ingredients for fire refining of
scrap copper and a
smelting method. The ingredients include 96-97.5% by
mass of raw materials and 2.5-4% by
mass of auxiliary materials, wherein the raw materials include 59-79% of lump
scrap copper baling materials or / and blister
copper lumps, 17-29.6% of bottoming copper, 2.5-5.8% of a waste
anode plate or / and an electrolytic residual
anode plate and 2.5-5.6% of bulk materials; the auxiliary materials include
quartz,
pig iron and
lime which are in the ratio of (2:8): (0.5-1): (0.5-1). For feeding, the bulk materials are fed at first, and then 60-90% of lump
scrap copper baling materials or / and blister copper lumps, the
lime and 25-50% of
quartz are fed; next, the bottoming copper and the left 10-40% of lump scrap copper baling materials or / and blister copper lumps are fed; after the materials are molten in a furnace, the
pig iron and the left 50-75% of
quartz are fed to begin the stage of oxidization; finally, the waste
anode plate or / and electrolytic residual anode plate is / are added. The ingredients provided by the invention fill a vacancy in the burdening and
feeding techniques in the existing high-grade scrap copper refining process; and as a result, the service life of a metallurgical furnace is prolonged and the
smelting period of the scrap copper is shortened.
