    Paper Title: THE ISA-YMG LEAD SMELTING PROCESS Paper Presented at: PbZn 2005 Conference, Kyoto, Japan Authors: Bill Errington & Philip Arthur, Xstrata Technology Jikun Wang & Ying Dong, Yunnan Metallurgical Group, Date of Publication: October, 2005 For further information please contact us at [email protected] www.isasmelt.com THE ISA-YMG LEAD SMELTING PROCESS Bill Errington and Philip Arthur Xstrata Technology, Level 4, 307 Queen Street,, Brisbane, Queensland 4000, Australia [email protected] Jikun Wang and Ying Dong Yunnan Metallurgical Group, Kunming,Yunnan, P. R. China ABSTRACT The Yunnan Metallurgical Group (YMG) has constructed a new lead-zinc smelting/refinery complex at Qujing in Yunnan Province, China. The lead smelting process combines an ISASMELT™ smelting furnace with a YMG designed blast furnace. The ISASMELT furnace produces lead bullion plus a high-lead slag that is cast into lump form and fed to the blast furnace. YMG installed a blast furnace in the 1950's to treat high lead slag produced by earlier silver operations. This furnace later treated sinter. For the present project YMG carried out trials at the pilot and commercial scale before deciding on the final blast furnace design. The ISASMELT furnace design was based on the operation of the Lead ISASMELT Plant at Mount Isa. This paper describes the development and the operation of both the ISASMELT furnace and the YMG blast furnace. This combination of new technology and remodelled traditional technology provides an economical solution to achieving an environmentally acceptable lead smelter. Key words: ISASMELT process, lead smelting, lead slag, lead blast furnace www.isasmelt.com 2 INTRODUCTION The new YMG lead smelter forms one part of a new greenfield lead/zinc smelting and refinery complex located at Qujing in Yunnan Province in China.

  • The Advanced Mining Technologies and Its Impact on the Australian Nonferrous Minerals Industry
    Paper Title: PROVEN TECHNOLOGIES FROM XSTRATA AND THEIR APPLICATIONS FOR COPPER SMELTING AND REFINING IN CHINA Paper Presented at: Hainan Conference, China Authors: Mingwei Gao, Philip Arthur and Nigel Aslin, Xstrata Technology Date of Publication: 2004 For further information please contact us at [email protected] www.isasmelt.com PROVEN TECHNOLOGIES FROM XSTRATA AND THEIR APPLICATIONS FOR COPPER SMELTING AND REFINING IN CHINA Mingwei Gao, Philip Arthur and Nigel Aslin Xstrata Technology, Australia 1.0 INTRODUCTION The world’s non-ferrous industry has achieved significant improvements in efficiency in the last 20 years owing to the advanced technologies such as ISASMELT™ and ISA PROCESS that have been invented and developed at Mount Isa Mines in Australia,. A number of large nonferrous mining operations in the world are still in business today largely because of the commercial benefits that resulted from applying these technologies. ISASMELT and ISA PROCESS technologies are marketed worldwide by Xstrata Technology, a division of the Xstrata plc group of companies, which was formed upon Xstrata’s takeover of MIM Holdings Limited in mid 2003. Xstrata PLC is a diversified international mining company and has operations in Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, South Africa, Chile, and Argentina with around 20,000 employees worldwide. Major products are copper, lead, zinc, silver, coal, ferrochrome, and ferrovanadium. In addition to these commodities, an integral part of the group is their independent process technology business – Xstrata Technology. Xstrata group companies have a long record of developing process technologies for in-house use and for sale to external clients. 2.0 ISASMELT™ TECHNOLOGY ISASMELT is a modern bath-smelting process for the production of non-ferrous metals.
