Investigating the effect of slag bath conditions on the existence of multiphase emulsion zones in PGM smelting furnaces using computational fluid dynamics

The presence of chrome in electric arc furnaces smelting platinum group metals (PGM’s) has a number of potentially negative consequences. In cases where the slag chrome content is above the saturation limit the existence of near-stagnant conditions near the slag/matte interface increases the risk of...
