Recovery of Copper from Reverberatory Copper Slag and ...

2016-6-8 · The typical process uses crushing, milling and flotation. These operations create excessive liner wear rates during crushing and milling because the bond work index of copper slag is 22 kWh/t and this is considered a very hard slag. The process also has reduced flotation recoveries and requires high flotation reagent consumption.

How to Recover Copper from Slag by Flotation

2021-2-3 · The flotation tailing is a converter-slag discard. Process for Quenched Slag. The treatment of quenched slag is similar to the treatment of slow-cooled slag except for crushing. Slag from the copper converters is skimmed into ladles, transported to a tilting machine, and granulated by pouring it into a quench trough.

In terms of copper recovery, it is thus quite important how the copper slag has been processed and cooled post the smelting or converting furnace, EF and prior to the milling and flotation step. Far less important, in this respect, is the actual smelting and converting technology upstream of the slag cleaning step.
