Copper droplets agglomeration/coagulation in the conditions similar to industrial ones

Abstract

COPPER DROPLETS AGGLOMERATION / COAGULATION IN THE CONDITIONS SIMILAR TO INDUSTRIAL ONESThe studied copper droplets suspension in the liquid slag came from the direct-to-blister technology developed in the KGHM -Polska Miedź S.A. plants. A treatment by the stimulators and reagents was performed in the conditions delivered / ensured by the BOLMET S.A., Wiechlice. These conditions were similar to those usually applied to the industrial process. Particularly, this treatment was similar, to some extent, to that known for the electric arc-furnace technology employed in the Smelter and Refinery Plant, Głogów. An effectiveness of the newly developed and patented complex chemical / reagent for the copper removal from slag was tested during the treatment. The effect of the liquid slag stirring on the copper droplets self-cleaning was also analysed. The performed test confirmed the effectiveness of the studied complex reagent in agglomeration, coagulation and sedimentation of the copper droplets.

Mechanical properties of AlSi12 alloy with aluminium bronze

“…The microstructure and closely related with it properties AlSi12 silumin requires a change, like that of all casting alloys [4][5][6][7], through modification or processing [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In the majority of cases alloys are modified to change the form and size of grains, mostly silicon grains, which reduces the interphase spacing of eutectic (α + β) and reduces the size of the primary alpha, but first of all large beta phase [1].…”
