The ISASMELT TM top submerged lance (TSL) bath smelting process was developed in Mount Isa, Australia by Mount Isa Mines Limited (now a subsidiary of Xstrata plc) during the 1980s. By the end of 2011, the total installed capacity of the ISASMELT TM technology will exceed 8 000 000 metric tons per year of feed materials in copper and lead smelters around the world. Commercial plants, operating in Belgium and Germany, are also batch converting copper materials in ISASMELT TM furnaces. This TSL technology is equally effective for continuous converting processes, in which role it is called ISACONVERT TM. This paper presents the recently patented ISACONVERT TM process for the continuous converting of nickel and platinum group metal (PGM) containing mattes using the calcium ferrite slag system. The paper focuses on the potential application of the ISACONVERT TM technology to existing nickel and PGM smelting complexes. |
