- Abstract
The results of a complete series of industrial-scale tests carried out at the Noranda Home smelter using a novel molten sulfate salt for copper pyro-refining are described in this article. In the process, copper co-exists with a molten oxide layer and a molten CaSO4-Na2SO4 layer, both of which have refining capabilities. The effect of the composition of the sulfate salt and that of the copper oxide slag on the distribution of minor elements between copper, oxidic slag, and the sulfate phase are presented.
