Physical Modelling of Thermal Stratification, Bottom Build-Up and Mixing in Submerged ARC Electric Smelting
Abstract
A one-tenth scale model of a portion of a submerged arc electric furnance for nickel smelting is constructed. By using a 52 wt% aqueous calcium solution to simulate the matte, solid calcium chloride hydrates are precipitated on the bottom of the furnace in an analogous manner to metallic precipitation from a matte phase. Mineral oil is used to simulate the slag. Reasonable similarity compared to the full scale furnace is achieved in the …
