Abstract:A cost driver in the copper‐making industry is the periodical relining of the furnaces because of wear. This paper presents thermochemical calculations (using the FactSage™ database) focused on the evaluation of the slag‐refractory chemical interaction in a submerged arc furnace (SAF) used for slag‐cleaning operations. This evaluation was made under different conditions: slag‐refractory volume ratio, oxygen partial pressure, and different types of slag. The new phases formed as a consequence of the slag‐refrac… Show more
