6 results about "Flash smelting" patented technology

Flash smelting (Finnish: Liekkisulatus, literally "flame-smelting") is a smelting process for sulfur-containing ores including chalcopyrite. The process was developed by Outokumpu in Finland and first applied at the Harjavalta plant in 1949 for smelting copper ore. It has also been adapted for nickel and lead production.

Flash furnace, flash furnace operation method and metal smelting method

PendingCN122095214AExtraction is timely and smoothReduce risk of leakageFurnace typesProcess efficiency improvementSulfidationFlash smelting
To mitigate the risk of increasing the proportion of recycled raw materials in the main metal component. In a flash smelting furnace in which the high-temperature melt generated by reacting raw materials with oxygen in the reaction tower (2) is separated on the hearth of the settling tank (3) into a matte layer (3a) containing a sulfide of a given metal, i.e., matte, and a slag layer (3b) existing on the matte layer, the furnace is equipped with: a given ramp region (S2) provided on the hearth (S) to guide the molten metal of the given metal, which remains in the lower part of the matte layer without sulfidation, toward one side of the furnace wall (3W) of the settling tank; and metal discharge ports (Hc, Hc) formed on the furnace wall to extract the molten metal accumulated at the bottom of the ramp region out of the furnace.

Flash smelting system for hydrogen production based on photo-thermal power photo-dissociation

PendingCN122326992AAutomatic controlFlash smelting
This invention discloses a flash metallurgical system based on photothermal power generation and photolysis hydrogen production. The photolysis hydrogen production system collects solar energy and produces hydrogen through photolysis of water. The flash smelting system uses the hydrogen produced by the photolysis hydrogen production system to smelt metals. The integrated compressed air energy storage and generation system generates electricity through a turbine air generator to power the flash smelting system. The automatic control system uses a PLC programmable logic controller to coordinate and control the photolysis hydrogen production system, the flash smelting system, and the integrated compressed air energy storage and generation system. This system mainly uses a high-temperature molten salt reactor as the direct heat source for flash metallurgy. The photolysis hydrogen production system produces the hydrogen required for the metal reduction reaction, eliminating the dependence of metal smelting systems on traditional fossil fuels and enabling more efficient and high-quality completion of the metal smelting process. The use of compressed air energy storage and a turbine air generator system replaces the traditional steam power generation system, reducing dependence on water resources.
