Major applications: Kiln furniture (e.g. shelf boards, saggers, beams, and posts) Lining bricks used in melting and treating furnaces for non-ferrous metal.

As with flash smelting, a heat recovery unit could be used to recover the remaining waste heat in the off-gas downstream of the hot ESP. Anode Furnaces Anode furnaces are used in sulfide smelters to refine blister copper for anode casting. Anode furnaces operate in a batch process, with each batch, or cycle, generally lasting about 3 or more hours.

Pyrometallurgy • Pyrometallurgy deals with the methods of extraction of metals from their ores and their refining and is based on physical and chemical changes occurring at high temperatures. • There are 4 processes that are included in pyrometallurgical treatment. i.e. 1.Calcination 2. Roasting 3. Smelting 4. Refining • Calcination: The term calcination is used to denote thermal ...

What is Extractive Metallurgy ? Deals with extraction of metals from its naturally existing ore/minerals and refining them Minerals: Inorganic compounds with more than one metal in association with non-metals like S,O,N etc. Naturally existing minerals are sulphides, oxides, halides like: Hematite (Fe2O3), Magnetite (Fe3O4), Chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), Dolomite
