Feasibility of using aegirine concentrate as a complex flux in copper metallurgy

This article examines the theoretical and practical foundations for the use of aegirine concentrate – a technogenic waste product of the Apatit company – as a complex flux in the main copper-smelting operations in order to improve their technical-economic indices. Laboratory studies and commercial t...

Summary:This article examines the theoretical and practical foundations for the use of aegirine concentrate – a technogenic waste product of the Apatit company – as a complex flux in the main copper-smelting operations in order to improve their technical-economic indices. Laboratory studies and commercial trials of the use of this flux are described.
