By injecting sulfur-rich concentrate into electric furnace, we modify metal chemistry resulting in lower liquidus point of the matte and thus increase metal recovery rates and improve flexibility of the tapping operations. This process is crucial for enhancing the overall efficiency of smelting operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example is the injection of fluxing materials (such as silica, or soda-lime mixture) into the copper melt to remove impurities such as lead and arsenic in the copper fire refining process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pressure injection is a unique system that combines scales, a feeder, and specially developed control automation with a pressure conveyor. This equipment ensemble, along with high transport pressure and an injection lance, enables the injection of material into molten material.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__container va-container alignfull\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-style-widecontent has-lightgray-background-color has-background\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h2\">Key Features of Kopar's Pressure Injection Systems<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-list__container va-container\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Advanced pneumatic transport:<\/strong>The system is based on proven high-pressure conveying technology, ensuring efficient material handling even in the most demanding environments.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Robust equipment:<\/strong>Designed to withstand high temperatures and abrasive conditions, our pressure injection systems feature durable components such as pressure vessels, rotary valves, and movable injection lances&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Precise Control:<\/strong> With adjustable height mechanisms and sophisticated control systems, our pressure injection equipment allows for precise and consistent injection of materials into the molten bath&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proven Technology:<\/strong> Kopar's pressure injection systems have been successfully implemented in various smelters worldwide&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kopar - Mastering Tough Environments - Durable Heavy-Duty Bulk Material Handling\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gdaJLTiLn2w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the video in <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/gdaJLTiLn2w\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">YouTube<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__container va-container alignfull\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-style-widecontent has-lightgray-background-color has-background\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h2\">Sulfurization Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Electric furnace matte is naturally poor in sulphur. By modifying the sulfur content in the electric furnace matte, we can lower the liquidus temperature and viscosity, thereby reducing metal losses in the discarded slag. Additionally, this approach helps maintain a lower operating temperature, which is beneficial for extending the furnace lining's lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A pressure injection process (submerged lancing process) by Kopar can be applied to increase the sulphur content in electric furnaces.<\/p>\n\n<p>Here's how the sulfurization process works:<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-list__container va-container\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sulphur addition:<\/strong>To enhance the recovery of valuable metals, sulphur is added to the electric furnace matte. This is achieved by injecting high sulfur-containing concentrate underneath the molten bath using a pressure injection system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Injection Equipment:<\/strong>The system consists of a storage vessel, pressure vessel, rotary valve, partially flexible conveying piping, and an injection lance. The pressure vessel is filled with concentrate and pressurised to ensure efficient injection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lancing system:<\/strong>The injection lance is submerged into the molten slag, and the concentrate is injected below the surface. The lance height is adjustable to ensure precise positioning within the slag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Operational parameters:<\/strong>The injection process is carefully controlled, with parameters such as pressure and feed rate being monitored and adjusted to maintain optimal conditions. The system is designed to handle high temperatures and abrasive conditions, ensuring reliable operation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Benefits:<\/strong>By increasing the sulphur content in the electric furnace, the process improves slag chemistry, reduces operational temperatures, and enhances metal recovery. This results in lower metal losses in the waste slag and extends the furnace lining's lifetime.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kopar-injection-assembly-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kopar-injection-assembly-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kopar-injection-assembly-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kopar-injection-assembly-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kopar-injection-assembly-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kopar-injection-assembly-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/kopar.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/kopar-injection-assembly-18x10.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__container va-container alignfull\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-style-widecontent\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-h2\">Why choose Kopar?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, Kopar's pneumatic conveying systems offer significant advantages for smelting operations:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-list__container va-container\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Improved Metal Recovery:<\/strong>By improving slag chemistry and reducing operational temperatures, the sulfurization process by pressure injection facilitates the recovery of valuable metals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Versatile Applications:<\/strong>In larger context pneumatic conveying systems efficiently handle various materials such as concentrates, feed mixes, flux materials, WHB dusts, ESP dusts, and crushed slags.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cost-Effective Operations:<\/strong>The low air consumption and high system availability minimize operational expenses, making the process economically viable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull is-style-default has-white-color has-avocado-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-8833604feee30ff51edef4ef81223fc1 is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-6 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-style-extrapadding is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center is-style-ingress has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6ba9d00f80a2eda9f700e362bc8d7418\">With over 30 years of experience in the industry, Kopar is a trusted name in pneumatic conveying and pressure injection systems.
