NOUFERROUS METALLURGICAL EQUIPMENT

The slag slow cooling process is an indispensable link in the pyrometallurgical copper smelting process. The slag slow cooling treatment system urgently needs an intelligent upgrade with the increasing demands for slag treatment technology, resource recovery and safety management. The paper analyzes the characteristics of the slag slow cooling treatment process and presents the adaptive conditions for the whole-process intelligent transformation. Through key technologies such as 5G communication networks, intelligent management and control of gantry cranes and electric flatbed carts, the independent operation and intelligent control of the entire slag transfer process have been realized. After the implementation of the project, the number of operators was reduced by nearly 60%, and the average slow-cooling cycle of the slag ladle was shortened by more than 7%, achieving good economic benefits.
