A mechanistic model to predict matte temperatures during the smelting of UG2-rich blends of Platinum Group Metal concentrates
High matte temperatures can be related to numerous catastrophic furnace failures in the platinum group metal (PGM) industry where chromite-rich upper group 2 (UG2) concentrates are smelted. Chromite rich concentrates require high slag temperatures as well as sufficient mixing to suspend the chromite...
