Thermodynamic Modelling for Process Control at the Kalgoorlie Nickel Smelter

WMC Ltd operates a flash furnace for the treatment of nickel concentrates at Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. A thermodynamically based model has been developed for the furnace to provide setpoints based on feed forward control with feed back correction. The model employs a non-stoichiometric metho...
