Copper mining and smelting technology in the northern Lowveld, South
The majority probably were deliberately crushed after smelting to release embedded copper prills, as recorded elsewhere in South Africa (e.g. Hall et al., 2006). The sectioned copper slags contain visible copper prills together with partially reduced and There are currently seven primary copper smelters and a secondary smelter in southern Africa (Jones & Mackey, 2015), as listed in Table 1.

Kell hydrometallurgical process for extraction of
The Kell Process was conceptualized by Liddell to treat UG2 concentrates in 1996, since at that time there was not an established market in South Africa for toll treatment of PGM concentrates. Following flowsheet development Africa’s share of global mined copper production was about 10% in 2014; however this will increase significantly in future if announced new projects eventuate. Southern Africa has an important role to play in this process. The present paper provides a brief overview of copper smelting in Southern Africa.

2 天之前Uses of copper. Due to its outstanding conductivity, copper is suitable for use in electronic products such as wiring and connectors, as well as renewable energy technologies and electric vehicles. As an alloy, Numerous slags are produced as a second stream which is not desired in various metallurgical processes, e.g., copper slag (CS) from smelting and processing of copper ore [1,2].The main mineral ore source for copper is chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2), with the smelting process contributing approximately 80% of the global copper production from Environmental and Socioeconomic Impact of Copper

COBALT RECOVERY FROM SOUTHERN AFRICAN COPPER
The first large-scale mine was sunk in 1852. Industrial-scale smelting began in South Africa in the 1850s or 1860s when copper was produced by the O'okiep Copper Company in cupola furnaces, and the partially smelted copper matte was exported to South Wales for further refining. The O'okiep Copper Company waserature of copper smelting using bored stone tuydres being carried out locally by 'Hottentots' as late as the 1850s (de Kock 1934:14,20,121,129; Schneider & Seeger 1992:24).Smelting without Ceramics: The Drierivier Copper Smelting

In South Africa, tin ore was smelted in tiny furnaces, pellets of tin were extracted from crushed slag, melted in crucibles, and cast in molds. The innumerable processes of African iron and copper smelting, in particular, were complicated mixtures of technique, special knowledge, and ritual controlled and designed by men to ensure successAt this point the platinum-bearing gravity concentrates shipped from South Africa join those produced in the Johnson Matthey smelting plant, and together enter the wet process refinery. Here they are treated for complete elimination of base metals, and the platinum metals are brought into solution for their separation and individual refining.Extraction and Refining of the Platinum Metals
