ISASMELT
Following the copper slag trials of 1976–1978, MIM initiated a joint project with the CSIRO in 1978 to investigate the possibility of applying Sirosmelt lances to lead smelting. The work began with computer modelling the equilibrium thermodynamics (1978) and was followed by laboratory benchscale test work using large alumina silie crucibles (1978–1979). The results were sufficiently ...
