Distillation Separation of the Copper-Smelting Dusts with Primary Recovery of Lead

Resumo

The processes of pyrometallurgical separation of the copper-smelting dusts in PPM OAO Uralelektromed’ with primary distillation separation of lead are studied. Conditions for the selective separation of the dusts are found using a thermodynamic simulation of equilibrium states. The calculation results are supported by the experimental results obtained on a laboratory furnace. Our data demonstrate that the distillation separation of the dusts can be applied to form intermediate products to be used for the recovery of lead, zinc, tin, copper, and cadmium.
