Abstract

Samples of converter slag of the Balkhash copper-smelting plant (BMZ), taken during their discharge from a converter, and experimental samples after conversion under laboratory conditions at different temperatures are studied. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray microanalysis are used, and it is found that industrial and experimental slags have the same matrices of similar mineral and phase compositions. Almost all of the iron within them is oxidized and is in the form of fayalite, magnetite, and complex spinel-type oxides. Mechanical losses with industrial and experimental slags are mainly in the form of white matt beads and metal alloys.
