Oxygen-enriched top-blowing submerged lance bath smelting technology (TSL technology) includes ISA process and Ausmelt process, both of which use vertical cylindrical metallurgical furnace. Oxygen-enriched air is blown into bath through lances positioned at furnace top to complete chemical reaction. This technology is characterized with strong adaptability to different feeds, flexible operation and high smelting intensity, etc. The TSL furnace usually operates together with settling furnace. TOMINE has designed 9 smelters using TSL technology, with concentrate throughput over 5600kt/a.
Top-blowing converting technology, invented based on top-blowing smelting technology, also adopts vertical cylindrical metallurgical furnace. Oxygen-enriched air is blown into bath through lances positioned at furnace top to enable reaction of matte and production of blister. This technology is featured with large converting intensity, high oxygen enrichment, small offgas volume and small footprint, etc. The company has designed 2 smelters using top-blowing continuous converting technology.
TOMINE has has provided universal engineering services from engineering test, project consulting, engineering design, EPC service to project supervision, etc. for more than one hundred of copper smelting compa- nies worldwide, making it the only one engineering corporation in the industry being capable of designing smart plants and providing such complete set of large equipment as metallurgical furnace and waste heat boiler, etc., as well as DCS.
TOMINE has rich engineering experience in comprehensive recovery from copper sulfide ore, copper oxide ore, complex copper-nickel mix ore and secondary copper materials, and has mastered multiple copper smelting technologies including flash smelting, top-blowing smelting, bottom-blowing smelting, side-blowing smelting, pressure leaching, roasting – leaching, etc. TOMINE has designed the world’s largest copper smelting operating lines by using top-blowing technology,flash technology and oxygen bottom-blowing technology, with the maximum concentrate throughput for single operating line reaching more than 1600kt/a.
TOMINE Flash smelting technology is featured with quick reaction speed, strong smelting intensity, high production efficiency, and high level of automation
TOMINE Oxygen-enriched side-blowing bath smelting technology adopts a fixed horizontal furnace with concentrate directly into furnace
