Abstract

The properties of liquid slag and matte were studied in the autogeneous extraction of copper which occurs in the Vanyukov’s furnace, applied in the Balkhash copper-smelting plant (Balkhash Group of Mining and Metallurgical Enterprises, Kazakhstan). The density and surface tension of the melts were measured using the maximum-bubble pressure method, and the viscosity of the melts was measured by the rotational method. These properties were determined in the temperature interval from 1350 °C to 1550 °C. The temperature coefficients of the surface tension, density, and viscosity were determined, and the technological significance of results obtained is considered.
