The existing ideas about the nature and mechanism of losses of nickel and cobalt with converter slags allow us to consider that for effective depletion of slag should be created conditions that provide intensive recovery of slag components, effective coalescence of fine inclusions, the possibility of transition of recovered and separated from the slag particles containing non-ferrous metals in the phase-collector ...
When creating a pyrometallurgical unit must take into account such an important factor as the nature of the movement of slag melt in it, which means both the direction and power of slag flows, and the degree of mixing of the melt in different zones of the unit ...
The correct choice of the optimal design of the depletion unit (geometry of the furnace space, location and depth of tuyere, etc.) is not possible without knowledge of the nature of slag movement, especially the degree of its mixing. In this connection cold modeling of slag bath motion in a continuous process of slag depletion was carried out ...
