A numerical model was established to simulate the flow field in a Peirce-Smith converter
bath, which is extensively adopted in copper making. The mean phase and velocity …

Copper matte converting is the key step to ensure high primary copper recovery in the
smelting chain. Its development and the fundamental research carried out over the past …

We have numerically studied and experimentally visualized the fluid dynamics in a Teniente
type copper converter. The three-dimensional simulation of the three-phase system was …

Multiphase flow in the widely used Vanyukov furnace was numerically studied. An unsteady
three-dimensional and three-phase flow model was firstly built using the computational fluid …

The flow pattern and mixing in an industrial Peirce-Smith converter (PSC) has been
experimentally and numerically studied using cold model simulations. The effects of air …

A water model with a geometric similarity ratio of 1: 5 was developed to investigate the gas-
liquid mass transfer and flow characteristics in a Peirce–Smith converter. A gas mixture of …

More than 80 pct of copper matte in the world is refined by a Peirce–Smith converter (PSC),
but there still exist a number of problems restricting the productivity of PSC. A novel view for …

This investigation consists of a numerical and physical modelling exercise on flow patterns,
mixing, solid-liquid mass transfer, and slag-matte phase distribution in a 0.2-scale cold …

Rotary kilns are used for a variety of mineral processing operations. Hatch makes use of a
kiln model developed from first principles to evaluate designs for its clients. This tool has …

This study presents a numerical and physical modelling study of flow pattern, mixing, solid–
liquid mass transfer and slag matte phase distribution in an industrial Peirce–Smith …
