Silica Flux Injection System<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Copper smelting processes can vary significantly depending on the characteristics of the copper concentrate being processed. If the concentrate contains high levels of impurities, these must be removed during the smelting process. In such cases, pressure injection is a particularly effective method for accurately and safely introducing various additives into the molten copper to improve the composition of the melt.

The composition of molten copper can be modified by injecting various solid materials, such as silica, directly into the melt. This is the case at a new copper smelter in Central Asia, where Kopar supplied two pressure injection systems in 2026. In this process, lead is removed from copper matte during anode furnace treatment by injecting silica sand into the molten bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
