Flash Smelting: Analysis, Control and Optimization

A comprehensive examination of flash smelting, describing the process in general, its products, energy requirements and the furnace and its operation. There is an in-depth study of Outokumpu and Inco flash smelting. The book's main emphasis is on mathematical analyses, specifically developing mass and heat balance equations, further illustrated by workable problems, to describe the smelting process under near-autogenous conditions.
