2021-11-18 News. November 18, 2021 Ivanhoe Mines has awarded a 500,000 tonnes per annum direct-to-blister copper smelting plant contract for the Kamoa-Kakula Complex to China Nerin Engineering. The smelter will be the most extensive of its kind in Africa and one of the largest single-line flash smelters in the world. The $700 million project is expected
A variation of the Direct-to-Blister Flash Smelting process is the Kennecott-Outokumpu Flash Converting Process eliminating the Peirce Smith converters and molten material transportation in the converter aisle. Outokumpu developed this process in collaboration with Kennecott and the first plant was built by Kennecott Utah Copper in USA in 1995
for copper production. The traditional process is based on roasting, smelting in reverbatory fur-naces (or electric furnaces for more complex ores), producing matte (copper-iron sulfide), and con-verting for production of blister copper, which is further refined to cathode copper. This route for production of cathode copper requires large
2022-1-21 TON outotec has delivered 51 copper flash smelters around the world. TON outotec copper flash smelting is the most widely applied technology for copper smelting in the world and one of the company’s planet positive solutions. using this technology, TON outotec’s customers avoided more than 1.6 million tons of co2 emissions in 2020.
2021-5-25 Under this approach, the PEA also contemplates the construction of a direct-to-blister copper smelter at the Kakula plant site with a capacity to process one million tonnes of copper concentrate per annum to be funded
The process of converting FSF matte into blister copper is completed in two stages, called slag-making and copper-making. During the slag-making stage—iron and part of sulfur is oxidized first to produce slag in repetitive slag blow operations, while the sulfur is oxidized in a single long copper blow operation during the copper-making stage.
2021-11-15 Kamoa Copper is planning to construct a direct-to-blister flash smelter adjacent to the Phase 1 and Phase 2 concentrator plants. The smelter is designed to use technology supplied by Outotec Oyj of Helsinki, Finland, and has been sized to process the bulk of the copper concentrate forecast to be produced by the Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3
2021-11-19 The smelter will have a 500,000 tonnes per year capacity, and will be built next to the Phase 1 and Phase 2 concentrator plants. It will process the majority of the copper concentrate produced by Kamoa-Kakula's Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 concentrators, resulting in approximately 99% pure blister copper.

The matte produced by the flash smelting furnace is transferred to the Converter furnace. Oxygen-enriched air is blown into the Converter furnace to oxidize the matte further to create blister copper with a grade of approximately 99%.

2003-10-1 Instead of adopting the KOFC system, a new Outokumpudesigned smelter was commissioned in 1999 at Olympic Dam, South Australia, to smelt 380,000 tpa of concentrate containing about 50% copper. This direct-to-blister process incorporates a single flash smelting furnace, an electric smelting furnace and two anode furnaces. 6.4.
2021-9-20 THE flash smelting process has grown to be a major technology in copper and nickel sulfide smelting along with various bath smelting techniques. The attractive-ness of the flash smelting is due to, e.g., its high on-line availability, high copper yield, low need of external energy, high sulfur fixing and small carbon footprint.[1]
