Abstract:
Currently, three Vaniukov Furnaces are operating at Norilsk Nickel's plants. Two Furnaces are installed at the Norilsk Combine's Copper Plant and are used for copper ore concentrates processing to ~60% Cu grade matte. The third Furnace is operating at the Norilsk Combine's Nadezhda Metallurgical Plant; it processes copper concentrate from high-grade matte separation to produce rich copper matte, i.e. ~70% Cu grade white matte. Approach to and methods of both technological and technical improvement of the existing Furnaces are presented. Also, new technological trend is described, namely Two-zone Vaniukov Furnace application. The results of pilot testing of various methods of copper and nickel raw material processing in Two-zone Vaniukov Furnace are presented. Possibilities of the Furnace's use for processing of laterite ores, lead concentrates, industrial and household wastes, as well as for coal combustion, are described.
