The laboratory developed a technology of refined nickel production by silver electroextraction. Implementation of this technology will improve working conditions at the silver production site, reduce the amount of silver-containing products to be utilized, and increase the productivity of the enterprise.
Crystallization patterns of high-copper matte with copper to nickel ratio (0.7-2.3):1, cooled in a regime close to the industrial one, have been studied. It is established that high-copper matte (Cu:Ni>1.6:1) is characterized by a different order of crystallization of structural components than traditional copper-nickel matte with a predominant share of nickel. The necessity of choosing a different cooling mode for cuprous matte is shown.
The issues of development of intellectual simulators for ore-thermal production of effective control techniques in SCADA-systems environments are considered. There are developed simulators designed to provide operational and technical personnel with skills of management of phosphorus and calcium carbide production processes. The proposed methodology allows to develop training systems and conduct effective training of students and production personnel.
