According to different furnace types, flash smelting can be classified into Outotec flash smelting (Fig. 1) and INCO flash smelting. The smelting process makes full use of the huge particle surface energy of dry materials, and the concentrates, flux, and gas molecules in the falling movement have rapid oxidation reactions. The reaction …

Large deposits of low grade mixed Ni/Cu sulphide ores with important PGM values exist in North America and elsewhere. The challenge is producing saleable concentrates at acceptable recovery degrees. Producing bulk concentrates and treating them by Outotec Direct Nickel Flash Smelting (DON) to matte and then …

With the Circored process, Outotec provides an alternative process route for the reduction of iron ores, using hydrogen as the sole reductant and fine ore instead of pellets as feed material. Circored is currently the only process for iron ore direct reduction based on pure hydrogen and has proven its functionality and performance in …
