initiatives. These reasons result in the stagnation of technologies. From an environmental point of view, smelting industries are pressured to reduce C emissions. An attractive approach for removing oxygen from the target metal oxides, and the mitigation of gaseous C, is by using hydrogen as a reductant. By doing so, water vapor is the only by ...

Experimental smelting of three batches of prereduced chromite raw materials with different degrees of metallization of chromium was conducted in the 0.2 MVA ore-smelting furnace of the Chemical and Metallurgical Institute named after Zh. Abishev (Karaganda). To assess the performance indicators of the remelting of prereduced …

However, this slag can cause problems, such as refractory wear and even accelerated failure. Therefore, the corrosion mechanism of magnesia-chrome and alumina-chrome refractories in contact with FeO x-SiO 2-CaO-Al 2 O 3 smelting slag was experimentally studied in the range of 1300–1400 °C, in air (p O2 = 0.21 atm) and …

One of the priorities in the efforts being made to reduce the consumption of coke in blast-furnace smelting is the use of smelting technology that employs the injection of pulverized-coal fuel (PCF). The injection of PCF has come into wide use at the world's leading metallurgical plants, with PCF being injected at rates up to 250–260 …

When aluminum is used as a reducing agent in the production of low-carbon ferrochrome, Al2O3-CaO slag is formed. In thermodynamic simulation of the Al2O3-CaO system by Terra software, the ...

Smelters. We have a number of ferrochrome smelters with varying technology: Located near Brits, Rhovan is an open-cast mine and smelter complex, which mainly produces ferrovanadium and vanadium pentoxide. Char Technologies produces high-quality electrode paste and char that are used in the production of ferroalloys.

Using this technology, chromite concentrate is wet ground, filtered, mixed with bentonite, pelletized, and then sintered. Cold sintered pellets, flux, coke, are preheated and fed to the SAF. Smelting generates an alloy, slag and CO rich off gas which is cleaned using scrubbers. Fig. 1 shows main equipment and process layout of the SBS-SAF ...

ChromTech actively operates and maintains a number of chrome recovery plants. We recognise the imperatives of delivering quality products punctually, meeting specifications, and maintaining costs below market standards. This commitment has cemented our reputation as one of the most cost-effective chrome producers in the South African market.

Bottom-blowing copper smelting technology was initiated and developed in China in the 1990s. Injection of oxygen-enriched high-pressure gas strongly stirs the molten bath consisting of matte and slag. …

generally adopted the policy not to export raw chrome ores. . 2 Figure 1. Zimbabwe Chrome ore production Podiform chromite ore reserves are expected to run out by 2015, and the smelting technology will have to evolve with more investment in the industry to enable efficient smelting of the more friable ores from the Great Dyke.

Fanshawe Director, Zunaid Moti, who also designed the new technology, said his company had injected $200 million into the project. "Normally, the chrome smelting process takes about six hours ...

Smelting chrome ore 855 Low carbon levels are more readily attained with a lumpy, coarse ore and when the slag has a MgO/Al 2 0 3 ratio of approximately unity. Higher values of MgO/Al 2 0 3 are especially deleterious. The presence of CaO also raises the carbon level. ... AI training, and similar technologies. For all open access content, …

Keywords: copper smelting; bottom-blowing; SKS; slag; fluid dynamic 1. Introduction Smelting is one of the important processes in the pyrometallurgical production of blister copper in which copper–iron sulphides are oxidised to form molten matte and slag. Flash smelting and bath smelting are the major smelting technologies in copper …
