Copper concentrate (CuFeS 2) is fed into the furnace along with a flux of silica sand, SiO 2, and oxygen, O 2. The flux is used to control the chemistry of the slag. In particular, it causes the iron (Fe) in the copper concentrate to accumulate in the slag phase, while the copper (Cu), accumulates in the matte phase. Copper Concentrate

the type of ore being processed. For copper the main processing streams that follow the concentration process, are froth flotation and pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes. In pyrometallurgical processing, following the froth flotation process, the ores are processed by roasting, smelting, converting and finally casting of anodes.
The membrane process achieved high water fluxes (15.5 ± 0.2 L⋅m − 2 ⋅h − 1 ), salt rejections (98 %) while precious metal recovery (91 %) was achieved through adsorption processes [15].

discovered that heat made copper more malle-able. Casting and smelting of copper began around 4000-3500 B.C. (see figure 6-2). About 2500 B. C., copper was combined with tin to make bronze—an alloy that allowed stronger weapons and tools. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, probably was not developed until 300 A.D.
The large particles are diverted back into the crusher and the fine particles will undergo a spiral gravity separation process. 5. Spiral gravity separation The gravity separation feed range is approximately 30% solid concentration. Process water is used to assist the separation process.

PROCESS The patented Intec Copper Process was developed for the production of copper at LME Grade A purity from sulphide concentrates. Essentially, the Intec Copper Process consists of the three sequential circuits of leaching, purification and electrowinning. A simple flow diagram for the Intec Copper Process is shown in Figure 1.
The Ausmelt TSL Process offers an integrated solution for copper smelting and converting or it can be coupled with existing site processes. The Ausmelt TSL Furnace can process copper concentrates with a wide range of copper contents and high impurities contents. For copper smelting the Ausmelt TSL Process has been installed in relatively small
