Description
Summary:A numerical method was used to study influence of the charge mass change on the process of converter slag reduction. A numerical simulation was performed with three different quantities of reduced slag. The relation between changes of Cu<sub>2</sub>O concentration and duration of the reduction process as well as between the rate of Cu<sub>2</sub>O reduction in the slag and Cu<sub>2</sub>O concentration were analysed. It was found out that the duration of the process is proportional to the amount of the treated charge. The rate of Cu<sub>2</sub>O reduction from converter slag decreases with the process duration and increases with increasing concentration of Cu<sub>2</sub>O in the slag.
