Abstract

Electrochemical sensors, based on ionic-conducting solid-electrolytes such as ZrO2, for determining the oxygen content of molten metals or monitoring the oxygen potentials of mattes, slags, and exhaust gases are important in the control of metallurgical processes. This paper describes the theory and practice of their use in copper production.
