Vacuum refinning cooper blister to remove antimony
A research on kinetics of antimony evaporation from molten copper blister was made in a vacuum induction melting (VIM) furnace at temperatures of 1 473 and 1 523 K, and operating pressures of 8 - 133 Pa. The evaporation rate of Sb was found to be first order with respect to your content in the melt. The overall mass transfer coefficient of antimony evaporation from cooper blister are from 1,82×10-5 ms-1 to 3,43×10-5 ms-1 at 1 473 K (8 Pa) - 1 523 K (133 Pa)
Research on the reduction of cooper slag using an alternative coal range
Blister copper smelting in a flash furnace results in the generation of slag with a Cu content greater than 15 percent. In the process of reduction in an electric furnace, coke or coke breeze is used as a carbon-bearing material. The presented work shows the results of studies on the reduction of the slag with a carbon flotoconcentrate as a substitute for coke breeze. The microstructure, chemical composition and phase composition of slag samples were analyzed. Based on the results of chemical composition of the Cu-Pb-Fe alloy and the post-reduction slag, it was shown that carbon flotoconcentrate might be considered as an alternative for currently used reducers
Behaviour of iron during reduction of slag obtained from copper flash smelting
In a technological process of copper production in the flash smelting furnace, slags with high metal contents, such as copper, lead and iron, are generated. These slags differ in their chemical compositions from slags obtained in processes of copper concentrate flash smelting or bath smelting. With the technology used at KGHM, the slag discussed in the article is processed during smelting reduction that is carried out in the electric furnace. As a result, a Cu-Pb-Fe alloy is obtained and subjected to the converting process along with waste slag which contains ca. 0,5 % mass Cu. The article presents an analysis of results of the research on behaviour of iron in the course of slag reduction where diverse fine-grained carbon-bearing materials function as reducers
The obtained of concentrates containing precious metals for pyrometallurgical processing
In the presented study the flotation process has been proposed as a method of enrichment of silver-bearing jewellery waste. This method, traditionally used for the enrichment of non-ferrous metal ores, is based on differences in wettability between individual minerals. Flotation concentrate, enriched with Ag, was subjected to further processing by the pyrometallurgical method in order to produce silver from these wastes
Application of waste anthracite dust in the process of copper matte smelting
This study presents the results of research on the process of smelting of copper matte with the use of anthracite waste dust as fuel. A method of introducing this carbon-bearing waste into the technological process carried out in a shaft furnace in the form of an additive to briquettes with copper concentrate was developed. These briquettes were tested for the required strength properties
Recovery of precious metals from waste materials by the method of flotation process
The article presents the investigation results upon recovery of precious metals from electronics waste and used ceramic catalytic converters. Various frothing agents which generate stable and abundant foam as well as collectors and pH regulators have been used in the investigations. The tests were conducted with the use of laboratory flotation device
Interplay between magnetic properties and Fermi surface nesting in iron pnictides
The wave-vector q and doping (x,y) dependences of the magnetic energy, iron
moment, and effective exchange interactions in LaFeAsO{1-x}F{x} and
Ba{1-2y}K{2y}Fe2As2 are studied by self-consistent LSDA calculations for
co-planar spin spirals. For the undoped compounds (x=0, y=0), the minimum of
the calculated total energy, E(q), is for q corresponding to stripe
antiferromagnetic order. Already at low levels of electron doping (x), this
minimum becomes flat in LaFeAsO{1-x}F{x} and for x>=5, it shifts to an
incommensurate q. In Ba{1-2y}K{2y}Fe2As2, stripe order remains stable for hole
doping up to y=0.3. These results are explained in terms of the band structure.
The magnetic interactions cannot be accurately described by a simple classical
Heisenberg model and the effective exchange interactions fitted to E(q) depend
strongly on doping. The doping dependence of the E(q) curves is compared with
that of the noninteracting magnetic susceptibility for which similar trends are
found.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
Effects of a bath composition on aluminium loss during Ti-Al alloy smelting in a vacuum induction furnace

Electron-phonon renormalization of the absorption edge of the cuprous halides
Compared to most tetrahedral semiconductors, the temperature dependence of
the absorption edges of the cuprous halides (CuCl, CuBr, CuI) is very small.
CuCl and CuBr show a small increase of the gap with increasing
temperature, with a change in the slope of vs. at around 150 K: above
this temperature, the variation of with becomes even smaller. This
unusual behavior has been clarified for CuCl by measurements of the low
temperature gap vs. the isotopic masses of both constituents, yielding an
anomalous negative shift with increasing copper mass. Here we report the
isotope effects of Cu and Br on the gap of CuBr, and that of Cu on the gap of
CuI. The measured isotope effects allow us to understand the corresponding
temperature dependences, which we also report, to our knowledge for the first
time, in the case of CuI. These results enable us to develop a more
quantitative understanding of the phenomena mentioned for the three halides,
and to interpret other anomalies reported for the temperature dependence of the
absorption gap in copper and silver chalcogenides; similarities to the behavior
observed for the copper chalcopyrites are also pointed out.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
