Abstract

The composite furnace module cooling system is designed to provide an essentially uniform hot-face temperature that is low enough to promote the formation of a protective accretion layer for furnace containment. A minimal amount of copper is used to ensure that the installation of the modules will not significantly alter the process heat balance during normal operation. The modules have been successfully tested in both copper and nickel flash furnaces, and 11 demonstration modules are now in operation in WMC Resources’ Kalgoorlie nickel smelter.
