Introduction
The "Heavy Non-ferrous Metal Smelting Design Handbook" is a comprehensive reference book that summarizes China's decades of experience in the design, construction, and production of heavy non-ferrous metal smelting. The book is divided into four volumes and twelve sections, covering copper-nickel (including cobalt recovery), lead-zinc-bismuth, tin-antimony-mercury and precious metals, as well as smelting flue gas dust collection and commonly used data in general engineering. Each section details the extraction processes and technologies for various heavy metals and their associated elements. The content is organized by raw materials, selection of technical operating conditions, products, technical economic indicators, selection of main equipment, reference diagrams, and necessary metallurgical calculations. It compiles a wealth of technical data and case studies for readers to reference and adopt.
In the copper, lead, and zinc sections of this handbook, in addition to traditional processes, the copper smelting section includes China's own flash smelting furnace for copper and modern large-scale copper electrolysis technology. The lead smelting section incorporates the oxygen bottom-blown process and pyrometallurgical refining techniques. The zinc smelting section features large vertical retorts, blast furnace zinc smelting, and hydromagnesite technology.
The nickel smelting section primarily focuses on large electric furnaces and modern flash smelting furnaces for nickel production, while also compiling China's independently researched and designed technologies for ammonia leaching and hydrogen reduction of nickel oxide ores to produce nickel powder. The tin smelting section covers reverberatory furnace and electric furnace melting, pyrometallurgical and electrolytic refining, flue gas volatilization, and chlorination volatilization techniques. The antimony smelting section mainly includes blast furnace volatilization smelting, reverberatory furnace reduction smelting and refining, and also incorporates shaft furnace technology and some antimony product production techniques.
The mercury smelting section includes electric heating rotary distillation furnaces for mercury production, fluidized bed roasting, traditional blast furnace smelting, crude mercury refining, and high-purity mercury purification techniques. The precious metals smelting section covers conventional cyanidation, carbon-in-leach, resin-in-leach, heap leaching, gold extraction from gold-bearing sulfide ores, gold recovery from antimony concentrate, treatment of anode slimes in heavy metal electrolysis, and platinum group metal extraction from nickel concentrate. It also provides information on recovering silver and gold from waste materials.
The flue gas dust collection section includes the properties of flue gas from various smelting furnaces, dust collection processes, and equipment, systematically summarizing China's dust collection facilities for heavy non-ferrous metal smelting. The general engineering section primarily covers plant-wide common engineering such as coal preparation, workshop oil supply facilities, waste heat utilization, high-pressure blower rooms, air compressor stations, and analysis rooms. The commonly used data section includes physical and chemical data, specifications, and standards commonly used in heavy non-ferrous metal smelting process design calculations.
This handbook also includes environmental protection technologies closely related to process design, such as cyanide wastewater treatment, mercury toxicity prevention, and noise protection.
