A dynamic process model of submerged plasma zinc fuming process is developed in FactSage 7.0 based on the industrial scale fuming furnace at Metallo Belgium. Several batches of industrial slag fuming have been simulated using the model. To understand the rate-limiting factors of Metallo's slag fuming process, two scenarios …











The Slag Fumer is the first Ausmelt furnace system adopted at the Onsan Refinery of Korea Zinc. This plant continuously treats the QSL lead smelting slag in the molten state. It has developed progressively since its first commissioning in October 1992 and has generated a confidence that it can produce an environmentally acceptable slag …







Slag fuming is a process of extracting zinc from molten slag in the form of metal vapor by injecting or adding a reducing source such as pulverized or lump coal, natural gas, etc. Top Submerged Lance (TSL) technology has been successfully applied to extract zinc by a fuming process from residues from the zinc industry, ISF and QSL slag and Lead blast …





By introducing a fuming process for treating rich slag in place of a blast-furnace process the separation of tin from iron has been solved. Thus, the two-stage smelting has been changed to a one-stage smelting and fuming scheme. ... Since the 1960s the lower-grade concentrates have been treated directly in a fuming furnace to make concentrate ...



In this work, pyrometallurgical treatment of non-ferrous iron residue was studied. This approach aimed to recover the valuable metals and convert the residue into reusable benign slag using hydrogen as a non-fossil reducing agent. The pyrometallurgical treatment for this type of residue involves pretreatment prior to two stages, oxidation and …



related to slag-fuming kinetics and details of fluid dynamic behavior inside the slag-fuming furnace have been found in the open literature. The earliest studies were performed in the 1950s by Bell et al.[6] and by Kellogg[7,8] and in 1960s by Quarm[5,9,10] to investigate the details of slag-fuming behavior. Later on, Richards



As mentioned by Richards et al. [12], the slag fuming furnace of company D has a length of 4.57 m and width 2.44 m (4.57 x 2.44 m2), containing 30 tuyeres with 56 mm ID for each tuyere. Owing to the computational time limitations, the present study dealt with a thin slice model with two opposing set of tuyeres. A slice of 0.3 m length was ...









in a kiln. What appears to have been the first slag fuming operation as it is known was commenced by the Anaconda Copper Mining Co. at East Helena, Mont. in 1927: The first Trail furnace was completed in 1930, and this was followed by the construction of several other slag-fuming plants. During the period in which slag fuming has been





Lead fuming slag and waste glass were dried to constant weight in a vacuum drying oven at 110 ± 5 °C for 6 h in order to remove residual water. ... The four groups of samples were melted in a furnace with a heating rate of 7 °C/min and homogenized at 1400 °C for 1 h. The melted glass liquid was rapidly poured into a steel …



Process Description. Slag fuming is a well-established process, soon celebrating its 100th anniversary since the launch of the first commercial furnace. 1 The process was initially developed to extract Zn from the slags of the lead-blast furnace and was used for Zn-rich slags; these days it is increasingly used for the extraction of a …





Valayapetre et al. have reported that the fuming of tin ore containing 10–12% Sn can be performed efficiently using gypsum as the fuming agent at a lower slag melting point and lower slag viscosity. The experiments were conducted at 1100–1160 °C for 6 h in a mini-reverberatory furnace where the amount of feed for each experiment was 2.4 kg.



Abstract—Slag fuming is a process of extracting zinc from molten slag in the form of metal vapor by injecting or adding a reducing source such as pulverized or lump coal, natural gas, ... since 1930s to recover zinc from lead blast furnace slag [1]. It is mostly a batch process, in which a reducing mixture of air







The slag is discharged from the slag tap into the fuming furnace, and the lead alloy is discharged from the siphon mouth at the end of the furnace. The carbon monoxide produced in the furnace is oxidized by the secondary air blown in hearth the space. The high-temperature fume is cooled in waste heat boiler, purified and dedusted …



A regular fuming furnace charge is four ladles of slag. When the fuming plant operators know the amount of slag that is to be available, they decide how many charges to make in the two fuming fur naces. This is based on the amount of slag in the holding furnaces as well as the amount expected from the reverberatory furnace. The two fuming ...

Naser, G. Brooks, M. A. Reuter, R. W. Matusewicz Abstract—Slag fuming is a process of extracting zinc from …







Slag fuming is a reductive treatment process for molten zinciferous slags for extracting zinc in the form of metal vapor by injecting or adding a reductant source such as pulverized coal or lump coal and natural gas. ... model was developed to study the zinc slag fuming process from imperial smelting furnace (ISF) slag in a top-submerged lance ...



Slag fuming is a reductive treatment process for molten zinciferous slags for extracting zinc in the form of metal vapor by injecting or adding a reductant source such as pulverized coal or lump coal and natural gas. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was developed to study the zinc slag fuming process from imperial smelting furnace (ISF) slag in a top …

When fuming Is conducted



Slag fuming is an important technology for processing Pb and Zn blast furnace slags. [1,2] It can be employed to extract considerable amounts of valuable metals (Zn, Pb, Cu, In, and Ge), allowing to produce a clean slag for added-value applications, such as novel inorganic polymer materials.
