Özet:In this study the data taken from Outokumpu type Flash smelter of Eti-Bakır Plant (Samsun, Turkey) was used to write a computer program in Visual Basic with interface to Excel. Flash smelting is the pyrometallurgical process for smelting metal sulfide concentrates, used in Eti-Bakır plant. In this plant, copper flash smelting consists of blowing fine, dried copper sulfide concentrate mixtures, silica flux, lignite with air into the furnace and natural gas as main fuel. The molten matte is the principal product of the furnace and slag contains 0.5-2% Cu. It is sent to a slag treatment (flotation) process for Cu recovery. This flash furnace off-gas contains from 8-12 volume % SO2 which is fixed as H2SO4. Written program was used to optimize the consumption of oxygen enriched air, fuel and lignite in this Flash Smelter by making material and heat balance of the plant.
