Sonic injection into a PGM Pierce-Smith converter: CFD modelling and industrial trials

Sonic injection into a PGM Pierce-Smith converter: CFD modelling and industrial trials

Peirce-Smith converters (PSCs) are extensively used in the copper, nickel, and platinum group metals industries to remove iron and sulphur from the molten matte phase. This technology has not changed significantly since its inception in the early 20th century. The typical converting operation involv...
